What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Lifo runs entirely in your browser without needing servers or cloud services, giving you instant access to a Unix-style terminal and file system
  2. You get a real bash-compatible shell that handles standard commands like ls, cd, mkdir, and file operations just like on a regular Linux system
  3. The virtual filesystem lets you create, edit, and organize files and folders that persist during your session, making it perfect for project development
  4. Built-in Node.js compatibility means you can run JavaScript code, install packages, and test applications without setting up anything locally
  5. Everything runs in a secure sandbox that isolates code execution from your actual computer, so you can safely test untrusted or experimental code
