Websockets would work great actually! Basically anything would work as long as you don't use any node or bun specific imports. For file systems you could also use something like this https://github.com/isomorphic-git/lightning-fs I'm glad you think the try before install scenario makes sense - I think this is definitely the main use case.

Pretty much this. I’m building a WYSIWYG note taking app that syncs with GitHub, sort of like Prose.io but more focused on the note taking than CMS part (although the option of publishing notes would combine these two). I think there’s two benefits of isomorphic git for this use case. 1. It’s more api agnostic: if I wanted to support Gitlab, I wouldn’t have to write substantially more code tailored specifically for Gitlab’s API because it speaks git. You would only have to switch out Github's auth for Gitlab's auth. I also found that add multiple files and versioning them with Github’s API is a pain; they’re remaking a client called Octokit but it’s pretty underdeveloped right now. 2. Offline version control: you shouldn’t have to be online to take notes. With isomorphic git I can add and commit, and then push back to GitHub later when I
