A student-focused WebOS that runs in the browser with draggable windows, a dock, dark/light mode, persistent state, and built-in tools like SAT Sprint, GPA Calculator, Final Grade Calculator, Notes, Study Timer, and ContextGuard Mini.
Continued expanding ScholarOS into a production-ready web desktop for students. This update focused on improving both usability and productivity while keeping everything local-first.

🚀 Next
I’m now working on adding a Command Palette, desktop widgets, and more advanced operating system features to make ScholarOS feel even closer to a real desktop environment while remaining completely browser-based.
I started the first ScholarOS expansion pass: Notes Plus. This update upgrades the Notes app from a simple local notes tool into a stronger study notes system. I added support for tags, pinning, search, filters, safer versioned note storage, JSON import/export, and a safer Markdown preview flow. The existing notes storage key is preserved so older saved notes can still load instead of being erased.I also updated the docs, app description, and Playwright smoke coverage so the project description matches the new Notes features. Lint, build, and unit tests passed earlier in the pass, and the Playwright suite was running successfully after the Notes search/tag test. I then added extra import/export smoke coverage, but hit the Codex usage limit while the final lint/E2E rerun was still in progress.Next, I’m going to continue from this exact point, finish the final verification rerun, fix anything real if it appears, then commit and deploy the Notes Plus update.
I pushed ScholarOS to GitHub and deployed the first live version on Vercel.ScholarOS is a browser-based student WebOS with a desktop-style interface, dock, draggable/resizable app windows, persistent window state, and dark/light theme support. It includes student tools like SAT Sprint, GPA Calculator, Final Grade Calculator, ContextGuard Mini, Study Timer, Notes, and About.I also started making the project more production-ready by adding documentation, centralizing app metadata into an app registry, centralizing storage keys, and upgrading SAT Sprint toward a structured local SAT-style question bank instead of basic hard-coded sample questions.Live demo: https://scholar-os-gamma.vercel.app/GitHub: https://github.com/FlashSpeedie/scholar-osNext, I’m going to finish SAT Sprint verification, polish the question-bank flow, improve the UI, and keep adding more production-ready features.
