SynthwaveOS - Devlog #1
I started building SynthwaveOS, my very own web-based operating system with an 80s synthwave theme. The idea is a little neon command centre you can boot up in the browser with a Winamp-style music player with a visualiser that reacts to the audio. I’ve set up the whole skeleton from scratch - three windows (Welcome, Player, Tracks), a top bar with a live ticking clock, and three desktop icons that select and open their windows. For now, the windows drag around, close with the x, and raise to the front when you click them, with the top bar always staying on top. I wanted the whole thing working and testable first, so if something breaks later I know it’s the styling or the visualiser. Next up: the full synthwave with animated perspective grid wallpaper, the sunset gradient, glow everywhere, a proper retro font, and the gradient magenta→cyan visualiser bars.
