## Puter

Puter is an advanced, open-source internet operating system designed to be feature-rich, fast, and highly extensible. Puter can be used as:

- A platform for building and publishing websites, web apps, and games.
- An alternative to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. with a fresh interface and powerful features.
- A remote desktop environment for servers and workstations.
- A friendly, open-source project and community to learn about web development, cloud computing, distributed systems, and much more!
