alt Hacker NewsI don’t want to come across as diminishing OPs work. But it was alot of work to simulate what Kubernetes is doing.

Sure - but to use another analogy...
If someone said they "ported git to the browser" but it was just a UI for git workflows it would be equally misleading.
I think because that isn't what "porting" is.
In such a case I would expect git - the version control code and diffing - running in browser JavaScript in the same way DOOM is when someone says they ported DOOM to the browser.
That's what porting means, right?
Since there are k8s bindings written in languages like Node.js (effectively a port) - and even they don't call it "a port" is worth considering for OP with regards to the title! Just my 2c

I’d guess that about 90% of the webernetes code is ported directly from the Kubernetes codebase. In that sense it is a port of Kubernetes to the browser. But the CRI and CNI are facsimiles created to work in the browser and for the purpose of making educational content.
The thing I think is most misleading about the title is that I haven’t ported _all_ of Kubernetes. It’s just the slice I needed. I’m hoping to gradually port more of it, though.
