The first features have been implemented! I have created the first test application using the API that will eventually be used by third party developers. Currently, windows can be moved around, styled, opened, and closed. Next step is to implement the ability to minimize, close, and resize the window using controls on the actual window, and then start working on the framework that will allow applications to contain sandboxed JavaScript. The system to sandbox JavaScript in these applications will be by using another custom HTML element for application scripting by the third party developer, and then when the app is run, pass that code to an iFrame. The AluraOS daemon will then provide the iFrame with the OS APIs the application can use, along with a DOM Tree that is isolated to just the application’s elements. Any changes made to the application or OS in the iFrame will be sent to the OS and then carried out. By limiting the abilities of the third party developer, security is increased for user data and other applications.
