DevLOG FOURRR

What do we got this time

well well I now have a complete basic file management system build, I can create text files, edit them, open them, save them in any specific location , delete it,

terminal now can run more commands

‘’‘ls, mkdir, rm. touch, echo, clear, etc’’’’

context menus

It was time taking and exhausting as every section of the operating system required different type of context menus. It was so much messed up. I ended up creating something central where a single config can decide and make a whole context menu,

Desktop is ALIVE

Long awaited something I wanted to do is to display what there is in the desktop directory directly onto the desktop after making the complete file system.

Dev Log Threeeee

Added a browser

as of now only a few websites are accessible like wikipedia.org, other websites reject the connection in a iframe, I am looking for solution to this, I was thinking to maybe compile a rust model web browser using ecmascript and run a browser in browser, looks tough for limited time I have for this project , will definitely give it a shot ( if you guys got any idea let me know )

yayyyy File system is now persistent

well despite coolest feature this was fairly easy redux-persistence saved the day, used indexDB as localstorage is synchronous and only allows 5MB of storage

-> the files created in desktop folder now show up on the desktop on top of wallpaper

NEXT GOAL

1. add some more commands in terminal like ls, touch, mkdir, rm
2. ability to create and save text files
3. make files and folders drag-able (DREAMYYYY)
4. personlization options

Dev Log 2

1. Implemented resizing and maximizing of windows (easypzy lemon squeeze)
2. Added some dummy options in the menu bar (will soon make them functional too 😉)
3. Improved UI of file manager (Finder)

AlpineOS, lightweight web os for study and space research(will be coming soon)

The name inspiration come from the alpine images of docker “light weight”

I am trying to build is os such that user can sort of study about space.

as of now I have build some basic file system, dragable windows, I have setup basic architecture for applications, processes, and files and folders

hope fully in my next DEVlog, I will have implemented /fixed

1. resizable windows
2. control panel
3. file and folder persistence
4. some cool apps on space theme
5. preventing windows from going out of screen,
6. will try to make terminal somewhat working
7. improve the UI
8. ability to minimize the windows
9. drag and drop upload of files like text, pdf, word excel etc,
