Mostly fun and entertainment.

Browsers are resource hogs, and they mostly used to run antiquated JavaScript. Creating a responsive, nice-looking "OS" desktop in a browser is something akin to code golf. It's a demonstration of skill at least.

It's open source -- feel free to clone from github and hack away!

Not quite sure that anything could be called a Kernel by any measure, but there's certainly a lot of stuff in there.

Oh, and I apologize in advance for your loss of brain cells. Some of that code is around seven years old.
