Great work on this @yashash_pugalia! One idea I had- you could even power the file system and standalone terminal app using the webcontainers.io api 👀

I had the chance to work closely with Yashash on the Windows 11 Web project, and it was honestly one of those rare collaborations where things just click.

What stood out immediately was his ability to take complex ideas and turn them into fast, polished, and highly intuitive user experiences. He doesn't just "build UI" — he thinks deeply about performance, scalability, and how real users will interact with the product.

Beyond the technical side, Yashash is great to work with — clear communicator, thoughtful in discussions, and someone who genuinely takes ownership of what he builds.

If you're looking for someone who can own frontend systems end-to-end and ship high-quality products at scale, Yashash is that person.
