Tired of having to find apps? Tired of installers? No problem. This operating system gotchu man. I GOTCHU MAN. Every single app in this operating system gets generated by AI on the spot. So efficient trust. Epic gaming.
I made an operating system where everything is generated on the spot. You cant install apps, you cant access the web, unless you generate an app that does that. Infinite apps, infinite widgets, infinite possibilities (even though those possibilities are pretty sloppy).
What was challenging was making a small model that has very little cloud usage, be able to produce something usable while being fast, and cheap.

Hiiii Hope your day is going well and stuff :)
Today i have added widgets! You can now right click on the desktop, and generate widgets that stay where you left them even when you restart! They have access to the theme and system apis just like any other app, but they are made to sit comfortably on your desktop.
I have also been working on some quality of life and introduction features! Now there is a user manual, that you can access through the welcome screen. It tells you everything you need to know to use the OS!
I have also added some stuff to the settings, like organizing your right click menu, factory reset and other misc stuff that is minor and more to polish things up. Oki thank you byeeeee :D

sup gamers, its me, theshovel, back at it again with a devlog for the worst operating system ever made
i have worked on the speed and quality of the app generating. I have also implemented more system apis like more customization stuff like light and dark mode, also some sound and storage apis so the apps can use local storage.
I also worked on the visuals a bit, making it more consistent. The apps now have a design that they follow. This allows for apps to change theme when you change your accent color or between dark and light mode.
The major issue right now is that im using a free google api for the app generating. Due to that, i have to lower the maximum output tokens so the user doesnt get rate limited. Due to that, apps might end up being simpler than you expect. The model behind it is still robust enough to give some pretty good output for that tiny amount of token allowence, but even then it might be simpler than youd expect.

I have started the project!
So far, i have gotten the bare minimum working. You can click the menu icon, you can type in the name of the app, and a free api endpoint running qwen coder will build the app for you.
Because I didnt want to be lazy and just use iFrames, i made it create a div inside the window with the generated code. This works, but it could be a security issue. Do i care though? No lmao
I have also started implementing some apis, like the notification api, which an app can call and it will show you a notification.
Im going to continue working on this by adding more custom apis and making the operating system more fleshed out. Probably will also have to write some more examples for the llm to use, right now there are a few but they are very simple.
