Devlog 02 - All the windows you want

It’s been way too long since my previous devlog.

Finished

You can now create multiple windows of the same app (as you can see in the image) by clicking the × symbol at the top.

I created an “apps” folder in my project to store HTML files, and each file contains a single div that holds an entire app. This setup should simplify developing more apps in the future since all I have to do is create an html file in that folder. This new system of making apps meant that I had to change the loading app logic in script.js, but luckily, it wasn’t that different to the previous logic.

Selected windows now actually look different when compared to unselected windows. It took me a while to figure out how to do that CSS effect, so hopefully that was worth it.

Next

Now, I’m going to work on actually making good looking apps that have more than just text in them.

Then, I will on the calculator search menu that will eventually control the entire operating system. Still not completely sure how that’s going to work though.
