AntOS is a front-end API that mimics the traditional desktop environment on the web browser. The front-end can connect to a remote server and acts as a virtual desktop environment (VDE). The original purpose of AntOS is to provide visual tools to access and control resource on remote server
and embedded linux environment. With its application API and the provided SDK, AntOS facilitates the
development and deployment of user specific applications.

## Change logs
It has been a long time since version 0.x.x and now AntOS hits a major changes in its API. From version 1.0.0, AntOS no longer depends on **Riot.js**  in its core UI API. This version introduces a brand new AntOS UI API called **AFX** API which is rewritten from bottom up. The entire AntOS core API is rewritten in Typescript (from Coffeescript)  for better debugging, code maintenance and documenting.

**Browser support**: tested on Chrome, Firefox and partly Safari. Any browser that supports custom elements API should work. May have problem with Microsoft Edge
