This sucks because the web should be the perfect, safe platform for this kind of application, but it isn't. Technically all the features exist in the browser such that you could write a homedir cleaner, space analyzer, etc purely in a browser tab, but because of the misguided (in my opinion) way that browsers refuse to do open a homedir, it's impossible.
Is this satire?
I'm not sure letting a webapp access your home is a good idea. You're basically YOLOing random remote code to run on your machine. Maybe we can have it access some specific folder for its own data.
And then there's also Apple which won't allow functional web apps, lest it affects their app store 30% cut.
