About Carbyn

So, you heard about Carbyn, it looks cool, sounds cool, might just be cool, but how great really is it? The better question might be to ask, what is it? Well, all this plus more shall be answered in the following paragraphs.

What is it?
Simply, Carbyn is an online operating system written in HTML5 and JavaScript. Some people might argue this point, stating that an operating system can not be online nor can it be written in a language such as JavaScript. I suppose that can be left to opinion, but is outside the scope of this blog post. The point though is that Carbyn can be accessed anywhere a web browser is available, and contains all of the  aspects of an operating system such as a file manager and a windowing system. Its entirely touch friendly and can be used on mobile devices.

How?
So, how did Carbyn come to be? Well, it is built off of amoebaOS, the online OS we all know and love. Carbyn is owned and developed by Sensidea, a great web development company. Carbyn was first demoed at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco in September 2011, and since then has gained quite some attention. Carbyn was featured on the TechCrunch homepage and numerous other websites and blogs. Beta invites for Carbyn should start be sent out soon, so make sure you sign up at http://carbyn.com to secure your invite.
