MewoOS

final devlog for mewo os 🍓😺

okay so guess wat… i was debugging mewo again and again for a bug that wasnt even real 💔… what happened is.. i opened mewo saw that nothing is functional and i was like everything looks gud why its not wokring… and then i saw my mails and found out that vercel and supabase paused my web cause i ran out of the free tier 💔😭…

anyways aside from this i added ts js for the vibes lol

• Window Switcher
  Open 2+ apps (e.g. Calculator + Terminal + Notes)
  Press Ctrl+Shift+A — overlay appears with all open windows
  Press Tab to cycle forward, Shift+Tab to cycle backward
  Release Shift or click a window to switch to it
  Escape to cancel

also i did optimized mewo earlier but it was still lagging a bit cause of overlaying animations and effects so i fixed that too ts time

redeployed on vercel again!!

• try it out ^-^ :- https://mewoos.vercel.app

MewoOS Devlog #8 🍓😺

Pixel Cat Redesign
redesigned the pixel cat that follows ur cursor around the desktop. she looks way better now ngl…more detailed sprite, smoother animation, and shes silver now which fits the dark theme way more. u can click her to toggle between following ur cursor or staying pinned. small thing but it makes the whole desktop feel alive fr

Meo Can Control The OS (waw..dem )
this ones big. meo can now literally control the whole os. tell her “open the calculator” and she opens it. “open the terminal” — done. “minimize all windows” — gone. she parses whatever u say and does OS actions through action tags. supports open, close, min, max, focus, minimizeAll, closeAll. feels like ur actually talking to the os not just a chatbot
Voice & Emotions Rework
improved meos voice n emotions big time. she now detects what ur saying and adjusts — happy, excited, concerned, playful, calm, tired, urgent. each one has its own rate, pitch, personality. the voice sounds way less robotic now and more natural. also fixed that annoying thing where the reply would show up in the chat 4 seconds before the tts spoke it. now they happen at the same time so its smooth
4 Desktop Workspaces
added a desktop workspace system. u get 4 separate desktops switch between them with ctrl 1 2 3 4. each desktop has its own windows so u can have coding stuff on desktop 1 music and browser on desktop 2 etc. ctrl left right cycles between them. feels like a real os now not just a web page

Mewo Store(new feature…yey)
built a full app store for mewoos. premium dock style icons glassmorphism ui category filters search the works. and the apps u can actually install and they actually work when u open them
Installable Apps

• weather — 5 cities 7 day forecast animated temp bars humidity wind stats
• kanban board — drag and drop 3 columns colored tags 7 pre loaded tasks
• focus timer — working pomodoro timer svg ring progress 3 modes focus short long session stats
• type racer — typing speed test real time character highlighting green red wpm calc 8 sentences
• paint studio — actual working canvas color picker brush size clear button u can draw on it
• image editor — 8 filter presets original warm cool b&w vintage vivid fade noir brightness contrast saturation sliders uses a real image
  Store Features
  when u install an app theres a progress bar animation then the app icon shows up in the dock with a premium dock style icon. and u can uninstall apps too removes from dock and closes any open windows…. mewo meow mewo

OKAAAA WE’RE BACCKKK.. aaa so i did all of the basic stuffs in the webos1 (mandatory features, basic glass morph for the windows, parallax effects on the wallpaper etc) so now in the part 2… its time to take this further…

so i started with fixing the lag and some minor bugs and then we redesigned every window and dock with an aurora tint and enhanced glassmorphism with glare and then came the features that i added… i mean they are not complete but the base is ready

the dock got upgraded
added a Files app(new feature..yey) to the dock with a sky blue gradient icon. the file manager opens with a proper glassmorphic window. breadcrumbs for navigation, grid and list views, right click menus, inline rename… the whole deal. double click a file and it opens in an editor with Ctrl+S to save. tab inserts spaces. its got the mewoOS glass treatment on everything

what is meo (new feature…yey)
so meo is basically the AI assistant that lives inside MewoOS. think of it like Siri but actually useful and with personality….a menace on silicon.
u tap the orb, speak to her, and she responds. she can open apps, close them, minimize, maximize — basically control the whole OS with voice. she has emotions too — happy, excited, concerned, playful, calm, tired, urgent — and her voice changes based on that. she roasts u but its from love. like a best friend who also happens to be an AI running inside an operating system
the whole thing runs on Gemini — both the brain (chat) and the voice (TTS). she uses Gemini 2.5 Flash for thinking and Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview TTS for speaking back to u with different voices depending on her mood

now the part that took forever — making meo actually work
bruh so making meo work took some work… idk how many times i debugged for her to actually listen to me
the STT problem
so the original problem was the Web Speech API — that thing is just unreliable as hell. it only works in Chrome, needs HTTPS or localhost, and half the time it just doesnt fire onresult at all. like u speak, it says “listening…”, then nothing happens. the text never shows up. no transcription, no response, nothing
i tried fixing it multiple times — started recognition immediately instead of waiting for mic permission, added error handling, changed the flow… still broken. the Web Speech API is just built different (bad different)
so i ripped it out completely. replaced it with MediaRecorder + Gemini for transcription. now when u tap the orb it records audio using the MediaRecorder API, sends the audio blob to Gemini, and Gemini transcribes it. way more reliable because it doesnt depend on browser-specific speech engines. it just works
the gemini model error
THEN the gemini model error… we had the wrong model names everywhere lol

• the chat model was set to gemini-3.5-flash which literally doesnt exist
• the TTS was gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts which kept failing silently and falling back to browser TTS
• the STT was using gemini-2.0-flash which was mid
  so we updated everything to the right models:
• chat: gemini-2.5-flash (the actual latest flash model)
• TTS: gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts (the dedicated TTS model with audio output)
• STT: gemini-2.5-flash (for transcribing the recorded audio)
  and added detailed console logging so we can actually see whats happening when things break. because before it was just silently falling back to browser TTS and we had no idea why
  the final pipeline:

1. u tap the orb
2. MediaRecorder starts capturing audio from the mic
3. waveforms animate while u speak
4. u tap again to stop
5. audio blob gets sent to Gemini for transcription
6. transcription goes to Gemini for the actual response
7. Gemini responds with text + emotion
8. response gets spoken back using Gemini TTS with the right voice

Devlog 2 — MewoOS

yayyayayay its finally coming together… basic version is done now ive add some more features and apps and just polish the whole ui a bit too should i add an app for doomscrolling 🥀 ?

anyways heres the details of what it has rn :-

-added an iframe browser because the jam said “be creative” and my creativity said “put the entire internet inside a window inside a fake OS inside a browser.” it loads Wikipedia and GitHub reliably. most other sites block iframes so its basically a very expensive Wikipedia viewer. but it works and im counting it as a feature

• also the basic version of music player was alr done but my first thought was “the music player needs REAL music” — not some placeholder beeps, actual songs. so i set up yt-dlp and went on a downloading spree at unholy hours. we got Cruel Angel’s Thesis, YOASOBI’s Idol, Ado’s Usseewa, Night Dancer, Fly Me to the Moon, Feeling Good by Nina Simone, Chopin Ballade No.4 in G minor, Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.2 (the full 37MB concerto because i have no concept of file size restraint), Paganini Caprice No.24, and some jazz tracks for the cultured folks. HTML5 audio API handles all of it — play, pause, skip, progress bar, the whole thing. no npm packages, no dependencies, just vibes and tags

• the UI went through approximately 47 iterations of “is this too pink” vs “is this dark enough” — settled on a deep black (#0A0709) with sakura pink accents and floating ambient glow orbs that drift around the screen like little ghosts of my questionable design choices. windows have glass panels with backdrop blur, the dock has custom SVG icons (not emojis, im not a monster), and the whole thing radiates “what if a gothic cathedral had a kawaii phase” energy 💔💔

wawawa basic frontend almost done (js have to polish it now )
