Viewfinder (aka VF) is a remote isolated browser that you can embed in a website.
It's a full-stack component, written in NodeJS, that consists of a browser-controller server, and a browser UI client-side component.
You can use it as a <WebView> or <BrowserView> HTML tag for the open web.
VF is:
Powerful: Viewfinder lets your provide controllable access to web resources in a way that's both more sandboxed than, and less restricted than, traditional web <iframe> elements.
General: Build applications that need cross-origin access, while delivering complex user stories that benefit from an encapsulated browser abstraction. Since the whole stack is written in JavaScript you can easily extend it to suit your needs.
Unprecendented: The technology that puts unrestricted browser capabilities within reach of a web app has never before existed in the open.
VF has existing repositories, here:

I am seeking an OSDN repository for my project to:
- encourage a different breed, sort, style, kind, fraternity, sorority, what-have-you of developer to access the project
- indulge my excitement at discovering a new code hosting platform that seems really cool and different, and seems like it maybe has cool and different people
- an additional marketing and distribution channel for VF, gaining more exposure on the web
