Today, I believe I have finally achieved this, and I hope to extend the team and maybe have enough budget so that I can work on the project full-time. I hope Kera Desktop can go further thanks to the open-source community."

A Desktop Environment based on Web Technologies?  I don't like to
criticise others peoples hard work, but for me, this is a trend I
cannot support at all.  The move to web based everything is a problem,
and this is a step in the wrong direction.

No, just no.
