My very own WebOS - Stardance

Ship #2

@Astra4 on My very own WebOS · 21 days ago

creating my own OS ^-^

built using html, css, and javascript.

most challenging part was figuring out the Javascript - my past coding experience was mostly HTML/CSS/Python. proud that i mulled it over, and that it's comparatively more aesthetic than my old websites that were super blocky.

hackatime thought it would be funny to tell me to install and uninstall wakatime - i'm missing probably 6 or 7 hours hours of work that should've been logged -_-. you can find the actual devlogs saved as separate files on the github

features:
- any additions you add will save even if you reload or exit the page - it's stored locally though so others won't be able to see it
cute little loading bar
- welcome page - simple introduction that pops up when you click "MingOS" on top left corner, first taskbar app, or upon loading
diary (star log) - a space for personal journal entries - you can add your own!
- doodles - a gallery for drawings and artwork - you can add your own!
- mixtape - a music playlist section, for now i have placeholder audio but i'll add my own later, maybe even the music that i'm working on right now hehe
- sketch - draw directly in browser
- guestbook - leave messages and notes - i don't have a database so unfortunately all the data will stay local
- Sunny - a virtual pet and interactive companion to care for while exploring the site - maybe i'll add an adjustment for need levels later

overhauled css. apparently i messed up git branches so i had to revert to an earlier version -_-

now it starts off in dark mode and also changed the color scheme to fit the night sky/star theme more

also hackaclub had severe issues so i had to re-install - i'm missing probably 6 or 7 hours hours of work that should've been logged -_-

finally finished! app icons are draggable, and any user inputs (star log, mixtape, window location, etc.) should be saved. the logged time is inaccurate and i had to fully restart the installation -_- for it to even track properly.

try it out here: https://astra-4.github.io/mingos/

skipped 4 or 5 actual devlogs - you can find them on the github page. around this mark i actually spent around 6 hours. star log is like a mini diary, doodles is like a mini sketch book, mixtape is just like the diary but a songs list. later i’m going to have entries that visitors can add themselves, a sketchpad app, and audio to mixtape.

started part 1 - the main page. also heads up that hackatime wasn’t working for me so the logged time is inaccurate. the time and date wasn’t coded to be updated in real time yet so i put in a six seven joke. har har.
