Devlog #4 | LampOS
Alright, back at it!
Today’s focus was two bigger systems: a file manager and a calendar.
The file manager was the one I was most excited about. Folders on the left, files on the right, all stored in localStorage. You can create folders, create files inside them, rename, delete — basic but functional. The idea is eventually other apps (notes especially) can plug into this same storage system instead of having their own separate localStorage key, so everything in the OS lives in one place. Not there yet, but the foundation’s built.
The calendar came together pretty cleanly after the file manager groundwork. Monthly grid view, click a date to see/add events, little dot indicator on days that have events. Had to get the date math right for the first-day offset so the grid lines up correctly with the right day of the week, that took a couple tries.
Both apps follow the same folder/sidebar pattern as notes and movies at this point, so the OS is starting to feel a lot more cohesive instead of just a bunch of separate apps bolted together.
Tomorrow I think I want to actually wire notes into the file manager like I mentioned, so they share the same underlying storage instead of being two separate systems.
Thanks for stopping by!
