## What it is
Greenfield is an HTML5 Wayland compositor that runs native Linux applications remotely in a web browser, or WebAssembly applications directly. It brings the Wayland display server protocol to the web via TypeScript and JavaScript.

## Use cases
- run linux applications in the browser
- stream a wayland desktop over the web
- run webassembly gui apps in browser
- browser-based remote desktop for linux apps
- display wayland windows in html5

## When to choose
- you want to run native Linux GUI apps remotely in a browser without installing anything client-side
- you want to run WebAssembly GUI applications directly in the browser
- you need a browser-based remote desktop solution built on Wayland

## When to avoid
- you need a traditional desktop Wayland compositor like GNOME or KDE
- you need X11 application support
- you need a lightweight local display server rather than a browser-based one

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, wasm, web-framework
- domain: web-development, operating-systems, cross-platform
- platform: browser, wasm
- tags: wayland, html5, compositor, remote-desktop, typescript, linux, web-server
