So it’s basically live streaming of a browser in a scene?
How much FPS does it has and what is the delay of it between a click and an update?
Is it already done and you are asking for the money to publish it or is it still to be done?
It will render images, and detect clicks on x,y → new image. Using puppeteer or rust-headless-chrome and cache mechanisms.
It covers a need nobody did before, there are plenty of site builders or static builders people could use and show it as interactive and informative screens without the need to leave decentraland to navigate to a external web, for example. Other use case could be for educational purposes, having a screen that alls students can see.
Yeah, the screenshot could be misleading, but tha’ts why I remembered this idea I already had years ago…
@mazafaka “find a real job” sounds like a grandma that thinks I’m playing videogames instead of working.
Don’t worry I already had good tech jobs on really successful products used by millions users but still I enjoy contributing to Decentraland… thanks for your so productive contribution.
I’ve thrown this idea out many times. I know it sort of goes against DCL as a 3-D platform vs. 2-D. The idea is having a in world browser in the User Interface. Anyone and Everyone can pull up their own personal browser to look at DCL marketplace, DCL DAO proposals, update socials with DCL screenshots, research the latest Blender Update, … anything the web has to offer in a browser window, inside of Decentraland explorer …
I saw this in Eve Online. You never had to alt-tab, leave game, have two monitors to play/research better. And it keeps people in game and engaged in game … pop-up window would allow for the chat box to still show, and outer edges of in-world game to show, meaning the player would still be involved in world. And upon closing browser window are back in game and never left.
It could even load into a different DCL website upon opening on a regular rotation, one day it starts with marketplace, the next DCLDAO, the next blog, etc … they can choose to explore the DCL site or navigate away.
I already did, I made also many “pro-bono” or free contributions.
Apart from the support, vulnerability reports in private, and some open source repos; creating in the ecosystem also contributes.
We started Golfcraft development before the grants existed and brought 70K unique users and a good showcase for visitors, funny for many.
But we also need support to keep contributing, I don’t live from the air and it’s fair when others, individuals or companies, can benefit from my contributions, including Decentraland as a platform. As an extra note, I’m more of a defensor of GNU licenses vs MIT.
75k players and you wasn’t able to keep at least 1% of them playing the game? That’s a shame.
I still don’t believe the image you show me, probably this can be faked generating multiple wallets or using VPN/proxies.
I work and worked free for decentraland for the last few years, going after con artists, exposing and trolling them, ‘hacking’ their ENS shits, etc. In case I can do this, and you’re more successful persona than me, maybe you can do it too?
To be honest I’m tired from sh*tty cash grabs proposed here. The truth is that for the last few years DCL DAO spent a lot of money for projects that achieved nothing. Just check the DAU back in 2021 and 2024.
I’ve thought about doing this before…
Render the browser page on the server then find a good way of sending it across and making a co-ordinates system…
Lots to testing to find the best solution…
Worth $5k IMO!
No, you need two monitors to play with two or more alts or to have excel open while you jita scam ahah
To come back to this grant, this browser would not allow in-world voting or marketplace buying as it would be rendered on Pablo’s (even if he doesn’t like when we say it, he will be the one paying for it and deploying the server so he has full control over it) servers and you would have no way to login with your metamask
Isn’t that just hosting the screenshot on a normal webserver then loading the image url from in-world?
You can install in your server and configure on your own also. that’s why I defined “on-premise” the description is short but concise . Moreover the requirement of platform grants is to be open-source and I think platform grants should not rely on grantee’s servers forever.

If it was that simple, why it has not been done in 5 years then?
… anyway … I’m bored … if it passes I will be working on that… if not, you can do it… In the end, you have a regular salary from the DAO and it is good to be used on productive stuff, don’t worry about taking the idea…
yeah pretty much that…
Would be 100x better if we could have iframes in the engine but we’ll be waiting at least 10 years for that…
Rendering images like this works because I’ve tested it…
The hard bit is creating the x-y co-ord system, making it look smooth and dealing with the GSS …
I would like to see a clean version of this built so I voted yes…
