Show HN: A Unix environment in a single HTML file (420 KB)

sagebird Wednesday, February 18, 2026

I built a browser-native Unix environment - shell, filesystem, git, npm, node, vi, 200+ commands. Everything is JavaScript running client-side with IndexedDB for persistence. The whole thing builds to a single static HTML file (~420 KB gzipped).

Try it: https://shiro.computer

For interactive demos showing npm install, node execution, and git workflows -- running live in Shiro, not recordings -- see https://shiro.computer/show

P.S. `curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash` works. You can run real Claude Code and it can use Shiro's tools like a normal Linux system.
