Make it like one of those 'trillion pixel pictures', where everyone can populate a square range out of your 'windows'? See what type of overall 'picture' they would make when zoomed out, and the whole app sags under the pressure and brings the entire internet to its knees?

Plus, if each Pixel costs 10 cents you'll be rich ...

Ah, I like that idea!

The cool thing about what you mentioned is that very same concept has come across my mind before. I have things engineered to allow for such a feature, but I haven't gotten around to trying the concept out.
I was thinking that you could design any window to expand to fill the screen, and it would convert the window into a new desktop element. Once the new desktop element is created, any child windows of that window turned desktop would display. It would be like having unlimited web apps that are all nested.

World domination would be all mine! I'm planning to take over the world anyway, but I can't find any nuclear ICBMs for sale on the Internet. Even on the dark web, I can't find any uranium 235, or plutonium. Not even Amazon sells it. Walmart? Nope. Target? Nope. Ebay? ...surprisingly not. If any of you guys can find nuclear weapons for sale, please tell me. I'll pay top dollar and give you 25% commission.

Hate to say it buddy, but the whole windows in a window thing has been around for a while man. For instance, Windows 96. Don't shoot the messenger.
The obvious difference between yours and the link I posted of course it, it seems as if you more user configurable in the browser itself. So, given what we know, we gotta find a target audience and/or what you want this thing to do. You can rule out most web developers because there's no need for them to use this... that's just the cold hard truth.
Making this a dev type environment for non-web devs is also a no-go. You can use VS Code (and other envs) in the web browser. It's backed by MS too.
So, what then, make we ask... what would become of this?
Seems this would be better suited for DevOps/Network engineers/hacker wannabes. Technical peeps but not necessarily web devs, where each window is essentially a terminal that exposes their favorite network tools exposed on a server somewhere. So essentially it's a configurable multi-window web terminal rather than SSH in to a box they have.
Also, side note, not sure it works with a high DPI monitor. I couldn't see most of the items as they were scaled too large. In Firefox if that helps.

I should also say that Windows 96 will allow third party apps too, but AFAIK it still takes a web dev to make one. It also has a terminal. But, the terminal on it is limited and AFAIK doesn't run commands on the server and just tries to emulate them on the client.
What could set yours apart is the terminal running against the server for a terminal window, so it's actually useful.

Windows within a browser window is definitely something to explore. I’m not sure what you or someone else may use your technique for, but if it’s unique and sound, I’m sure someone can build something with it.
Note: I read my morning Code Project on an iPad with Firefox. Your interface doesn’t behave well on it (I think @JeremyFalcon mentioned this too).
Whatever you end up up doing with it, kudos. Have fun with it.

I was frustrated when I pressed the "X" on a window and then had to select a drop down button of close. I can't imagine what this could be useful for so other than that small feedback, I'm of no use. Now I'm gonna go work so I can play outside this afternoon.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

So Sunday I got the Insider for Tuesday last week. This morning I received Friday's.
It is very hit or miss if I receive them at all and they are almost always at least 2 days late.
Thoughts?
