trynix.dev provides a web-based x86_64 Linux virtual machine powered by QEMU-WASM, allowing users to interact with Nix packages directly in their browser. Packages are URL-addressable, enabling users to load and interact with specific versions of Nix packages, such as Python 3.6.2 from 2017. Farid Zakaria is developing various applications on top of this platform, including a GitHub action called trynix-preview, which allows reviewers to boot pull requests in the browser for code review purposes. This eliminates the need for servers, relying solely on browsers for functionality.
