Devlog #2 — Music Player

Today I added a new application to my WebOS: a music player 🎵.

For now it’s still quite simple and only has two songs, but it already works. Since I’m still learning CSS and JavaScript, some parts look a bit strange and need improvement.

In the coming days I want to make the visual appearance nicer and continue adding features. My goal is to make WebOS look more and more like Windows XP, which is serving as inspiration for the project.

There’s still a lot to improve, but I’m learning a lot during development.

Development Diary #1 — My WebOS Demo

I finished the first version of my WebOS demo.

It now has two applications:

• Welcome: an application with a beginner’s guide and some system information
• Cat Viewer: an application that displays random images of cats

During development, I realized that JavaScript is more difficult than I imagined, especially in the part about manipulating page elements and making the interface components work together. I still need to study more to better organize the code and understand how to structure larger projects without getting lost.

Next goals:

• Create a calculator within WebOS
• Improve code organization
• Study more about DOM and events
