edex-ui
A cross-platform, customizable science fiction terminal emulator with advanced monitoring & touchscreen support.
(Project archived oct. 18th 2021)
eDEX-UI is a fullscreen, cross-platform terminal emulator and system monitor that looks and feels like a sci-fi computer interface.
Heavily inspired from the TRON Legacy movie effects (especially the Board Room sequence), the eDEX-UI project was originally meant to be "DEX-UI with less « art » and more « distributable software »".
While keeping a futuristic look and feel, it strives to maintain a certain level of functionality and to be usable in real-life scenarios, with the larger goal of bringing science-fiction UXs to the mainstream.
It might or might not be a joke taken too seriously.

Really interesting. I think this is a space that could come a long way in the next few years. I'd love to experiment with this myself.
I think this is just about experiences and fun. The project is an evolution of github.com/seenaburns/dex-ui which does not offer rich features.
I like the role of „Science-Fiction Philisopie“ as inspiriation for Technology. Look at KI, Robots and so on... all this was „Science-Fiction“
Really, Ben? It will be exploited once - and you have XSS...buth with OS access as sweet bonus. I do not understand how ppl do not think about security of frameworks at the first place.
I'm not necessarily speaking about the concept of touch-screen-oriented dev tools.
Yes—Electron brings resource management and security concerns. I see it more as proof of concept in a way.
It has been actively exploited in security-oriented messaging apps like Signal Desktop. So it has a history of ab(using) this PoC. And I'm not really sure that most people who download random plugins with 0 history of security audits to their electron-based editors, have their environments sandboxed for the sake of potential incident.
I in delusion? Just look at GitHub
I think I saw this on r/unixporn recently. It's really awesome looking!
