Slay-OS

SlayOS is a custom desktop operating system built for fun. It combines a clean modern design with weird features like app-deleting roulette, a live ASCII webcam, and other experimental tools. It's not trying to be the next Windows or macOS. It's just trying to be the most entertaining OS on your computer.

Ship #1

What did you make?
> SlayOS — a fake operating system that runs entirely in your browser. built from scratch with just HTML, CSS and vanilla JS. no frameworks, no libraries, nothing. it has draggable windows, a login screen that actually remembers you, a working terminal, notes, devlogs, a coin flip that can delete your apps if you lose, and a live ASCII camera that turns your webcam into real time text art. it got way bigger than i planned lol

---

What was challenging?
> building everything without any frameworks was rough. window dragging, z-index stacking, terminal logic, localStorage persistence — all of it had to be figured out from scratch. there were so many moments where something would work and then completely break something else. the ASCII cam especially took a while to get feeling smooth and actually good looking

---

What are you proud of?
> honestly the ASCII cam. it was totally unnecessary and i built it anyway and it looks so cool. also the login system — the fact that your PC name shows up in the terminal prompt is such a small thing but it makes the whole OS feel surprisingly real. proud that the whole thing runs on just three files too

---

What should people know to test it?
> go to {https://mokxsh404.github.io/Slay-OS/} and first thing — try Roulette if you're feeling brave 😭 allow camera permissions for the ASCII cam and switch between the color modes. open the terminal and type `help`. the whole thing is more fun to just click around and explore than to be told what to do

#Devlog 3: We are DONE. 🎉

SlayOS is finally finished.

One of my favorites is the new ASCII Camera. It takes your normal webcam feed and converts it into live ASCII art using letters, numbers, and symbols like @, #, %, and more. It looks surprisingly cool and gives everything that old-school hacker terminal vibe.

I also added multiple display modes, so you can switch between different ASCII styles and effects depending on how cursed you want your camera feed to look.

Between the Apple-inspired UI, the Roulette app that can literally delete half your applications if you lose, and now a fully functional ASCII Camera, SlayyyOS has somehow become a real operating system!
Gonna Ship It Soon!

#Devlog 2: Slay-OS is getting dangerously close to being finished!

Been adding some of the final features and probably the most ridiculous one so far is the Roulette.

Here’s how it works:
You spin it, and if you lose… SlayOS randomly deletes half of its own applications. That’s it. No mercy.

If you win, absolutely nothing happens.

Is it useful? Nope.
Is it funny? Prolly.

I’ve attached some screenshots below so you can see how it looks in action.

At this point, most of the OS is done and I’m just polishing things up before release. It’s been really fun building this project from scratch and seeing it slowly turn into a real operating system.

Let me know what you think of the Roulette feature. Would you risk your apps?
