Products that do what I saw this mind-blowing experiment, so I made a simple version of it does
Two browser windows (acting as socket clients) communicate their: - Screen dimensions - (screen.width, screen.height) - Window dimensions - (window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight) - Window X/Y position - (window.screenX, window.screenY) ...or whichever calculation works best for you. The original work by Bjorn Staal https://twitter.com/_nonfigurativ_/status/172732259457002734 used localStorage, but I found sockets more fun, because if tweaked a bit, this can be shared with friends.

Please note; the Lisa conforms more literally to the desktop metaphor than most modern GUIs - some of the important differences are mentioned in the readme. This is a complete recreation of the UI in JS; it all renders to a single…

There is a large grid of 250x250 tiles, on which you are be able to create a tiny website, contained into the tile. You can basically consider the tile as a mini version of your website, showcasing what your full site has (but it can be anything). You are able to link to your full site, and use any HTML/CSS/JS inside. The purpose is to create beautiful and interesting tiles, that could be used for exploring the indie-web in an easy and interesting way.
