Just curious and who knows, maybe someone will adopt it or develop something new based on its ideas.

WebOS, the palm smartphone OS. It was beautiful at the time and predicted many of the swipe gestures iOS and Android adopted much later.

What LG did to WebOS is a crime. It's basically a locked down Android TV clone now, but worse.

I still pine for features that Palm/HP WebOS had, Android and iOS are still downgrades to this day
