My very own WebOS - Stardance

Ship #1 Changes requested

@sirius on My very own WebOS · 15 days ago

I built SiriusOS, a space-themed WebOS with multiple interactive windows and five apps: About, Terminal, Stargazer, Notes, and Calculator. The hardest part was coordinating window dragging, focus, and z-index behavior. I am especially proud of the interactive Stargazer and the polished no-password welcome flow. Open the demo, press ENTER, then launch several desktop apps to test the window controls.

Final QA and release check

I completed a final browser QA pass on SiriusOS before shipping.

Confirmed the welcome screen opens without a password
Opened About, Terminal, Stargazer, Notes, and Calculator
Verified multiple windows can stay open together
Verified close, minimize, and maximize controls are present
Confirmed the public GitHub Pages deployment loads correctly
Checked the browser console and found no errors or warnings

The custom space-themed interface and interactive Stargazer make this more than a copy of the guide. The project is now ready for mission review.

Added a README and polished the SiriusOS codebase today!

What’s new:

Wrote a full README.md for the GitHub repo — covers all features, tech stack, and how to run it locally
Pushed to GitHub, repo now has a proper landing page with badges and a live demo link
Cleaned up the window manager code — extracted drag logic into a reusable makeDraggable() helper
Fixed a z-index bug where minimized windows could still intercept mouse events
Improved the Stargazer app: constellation lines now render in a softer color so individual stars are easier to see

The draggable window system is holding up really well — no flicker, smooth focus management. Next step is adding a File Manager app and a settings panel for theming!

今天開始建造 SiriusOS — 一個跑在瀏覽器裡的太空主題 WebOS！
整個系統塞在單一 HTML 檔案裡，包含：

動態星空背景 + 登入畫面
視窗管理器（可拖曳、最小化、關閉）
5 個內建 App：About、Terminal、Stargazer 星座儀、Notes、Calculator
Pomodoro 計時器
Terminal 支援指令歷史（↑↓ 鍵）

最大挑戰是做出真正可拖曳的視窗系統，要同時處理 z-index 焦點管理跟滑鼠事件。最後用原生 JS 的 mousedown/mousemove 解決了，不需要任何外部套件。
現在已經 deploy 到 GitHub Pages，明天繼續加更多功能！
