Went to the demo, instinctively used `cmd-w` to close one of the "desktop" windows, and was quickly reminded of one of the limitations of building an application like this inside a browser.

Note to developer: you may want to add an `onbeforeunload` handler



I heard you can fix that with Alt+F4. Seriously though, this is my biggest gripe with building for the web. You are limited in interactions to what the browser allows and at the end of the day it’s an app inside a sandbox-ish container with an app inside a shadow-dom. WASM full-screen, full-hardware, experiences have yet to take root. It’s getting there.


ROTFLMAO!
