First day on the webOS jam. The idea of building an OS inside a browser felt weird at first, but also really cool.

I got the desktop background working using a CSS gradient and added a live clock to the topbar using setInterval. The hardest part was figuring out position: absolute windows kept showing up in completely wrong places until I understood that everything is positioned relative to the body.

By the end of the session I had a working desktop with a welcome window sitting in the middle.
