Pinokio is a new software platform that enables users to run their own “personal Internet” locally on Mac, Windows, and Linux computers with a single click[1]. The platform allows users to run web servers, AI models, and command-line applications directly on their local machines[2].
Released in version 5.0, Pinokio positions your personal computer as “the Cloud,” letting you operate various applications and services on your localhost rather than relying on remote cloud services[1:1][2:1].



My point is more about the ease of development rather than the quality of the UX. Like I said, I prefer native applications but a lot of these open source projects likely wouldn’t exist otherwise (or they’d be Windows-only with no remote hosting options)
