so the mission was basically: build a personal website, but make it actually interesting instead of the usual “hi, here’s my resume” page nobody reads. my first instinct was to do the safe thing, a simple portfolio site, projects listed top to bottom, done in an hour. but that felt like the laziest version of the mission. anyone can make a list of stuff they built.so instead i made rinoOS, (rino being my digital identity) live like rino. the idea: instead of reading about me, you boot into a whole fake OS and explore it like it’s actually mine. you start on a boot screen that fake loads stuff like “syncing f1 telemetry… brewing chai…” then you pick a wallpaper before you even see the desktop. after that you’re dropped into a real desktop with draggable windows, a dock, and a working clock, and you click around to find out who i am instead of scrolling a page.i built most of this outside the repo first, just working on the html locally and testing it as i went, then finally moved everything over once it actually worked.what’s in it so far: 8 wallpapers, pick your vibe before you boot in. windows for About, Projects, Skills, F1 Fan Zone, and Contact. a Jarvis terminal you can actually type commands into, like hey jarvis, open projects.the projects window has my real stuff: Jarvis, a voice assistant i built with whisper and ollama, a live F1 telemetry dashboard, and Time Debt, a roblox game where you’re racing the clock to collect as much as possible before time runs out. biggest issue so far: it looked perfect locally, then i pushed it to github pages and got a blank readme instead of my site. turns out pages only serves a file named exactly index.html. dumb mistake, learned it fast. next up: a sticky notes app and proper minimize to dock animations. live like rino 🟣
