Become a sponsor to Isaac Johnston
Hi ๐ I'm Isaac, founder of Superstruct Ltd in New Zealand, pioneering the future of browser-native computing through open source contributions.
Transforming Education Through Browser-Native Technology
I'm building Discere OS - the world's first AI-native learning operating system that runs entirely in browsers.
Massive Open Source Infrastructure Contribution
I'm contributing open source WASM library ports across 78+ repositories, creating the foundational infrastructure that enables professional desktop applications to run natively in browsers:
- Creative Suite: Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, ImageMagick - full professional creative tools
- Scientific Computing: OpenBLAS, FAISS, MediaPipe, OpenCV - high-performance ML and analysis
- System Libraries: 50+ foundation libraries (GTK, Cairo, OpenSSL, SQLite) forming complete desktop infrastructure
- Specialized Tools: FFmpeg, Tesseract OCR, Whisper speech recognition, QEMU virtualization
This represents one of the largest systematic efforts to enable browser-native computing at native performance levels.
Open Source Enterprise GraphQL Infrastructure
In active development for a public release soon, I maintain a production-ready fork of Hasura v2 with enterprise features, serving organizations requiring self-hosted, high-performance GraphQL APIs with zero vendor lock-in. This continues proven v2 architecture with modern React/TypeScript infrastructure and maintains 100% API compatibility for seamless migration.
From Clojure to Systems Programming
My journey began in the Clojure/ClojureScript ecosystem, as a prior maintainer of re-frame and contributing libraries like re-frame-fetch-fx. This functional programming foundation now powers my systems-level work in browser technologies, bringing principled architecture to complex WASM orchestration challenges.
Classical Education Mission
Discere OS embodies a unique vision combining 2,000+ years of classical educational wisdom with cutting-edge browser-native technologies.
Sponsorship Impact
Your sponsorship enables continued development of foundational browser-native infrastructure that benefits the entire web development ecosystem, advances educational technology for classical learning institutions, and pushes the boundaries of what's possible in browser computing.
Together, we're building the foundation for a new computing paradigm where professional applications seamlessly integrate in browser environments - making powerful tools universally accessible while maintaining native performance.
