ArianaGrandeOS is finally ready to ship!!

I polished everything up and added some final features. I added an Ariana Grande trivia app where you can answer questions about Ariana, her music, and her career. I also updated the homepage, made the time bigger so it’s easier to see, added a “Now Playing” section, and added a few more apps on the display of the homepage.

One thing I’m really happy with is the music player. I added a queue system so you can choose exactly which songs you want to play next instead of having to listen in album order. It makes the music player feel way more like a real streaming app and was something I really wanted to include before shipping.

The music player ended up being way harder than I expected. Even though all 111 songs were already in the OS, they weren’t syncing properly at all. I spent a long time trying to figure out what was wrong and honestly thought I had broken everything at one point 😭. After a lot of testing and fixing random issues, such as the play button not working, audio not playing, etc etc, I finally got every single song synced correctly and working. Seeing all 111 songs play perfectly from Yours Truly all the way to Eternal Sunshine felt so rewarding.

I also added a quote section to the homepage that changes every 30 seconds. All of the quotes are from Ariana Grande, and there are currently 12 different ones that rotate throughout the day.

The OS now has 12 different apps and actually feels like a real operating system. Looking back at where I started, it’s kind of crazy how much it grew from a simple pink desktop into this huge Ariana-themed project!! :)

The best part was finally showing it to my sister. She thought it was absolutely amazing and was especially excited about the music player. Watching her click through everything and seeing how happy she was made all the frustrating bugs and long hours worth it.

I’m really proud of how this turned out and am super excited to finally ship it :))

Thank you all so much for following along through this journey!
