My very own WebOS

gave akshOS a proper visual overhaul. redid the whole css so it's got a warm paper look now, cream background with a dotted grid, thick black borders, and hard shadows behind the windows instead of the soft blurry ones. put it on space grotesk and space mono and made everything lowercase.

added two apps too. paint is a little canvas with a color palette, brush sizes, an eraser and a save-to-png button. and you can right-click the desktop to drop a sticky note now, drag it wherever, and it's still there when you come back. threw a couple easter eggs in the terminal too, try sudo.

also rewrote the readme so it actually explains the thing. play with it here: https://downbeatfoil.github.io/webos/

AkshOS — my operating system that runs in the browser 🪟

I built a little desktop OS that lives entirely in a web page — no installs, no accounts, just open the link. It boots to a lock screen with my name, then drops you onto a desktop with draggable, resizable windows and a taskbar, exactly like a real OS. The apps all actually work: a Terminal with real commands (help, whoami, date, open, theme, joke), a Notepad that autosaves to your browser, a Calculator, a file explorer, a clock, and — my favorite part — a built-in Snake game that saves your high score. There's also a theme switcher with 6 wallpapers that remembers your pick between visits. It's all vanilla HTML/CSS/JS with no frameworks, so the whole thing is just three files. The trickiest bug was an invisible boot overlay that was silently swallowing every click until I realized the hidden attribute was losing to a CSS rule — one line fixed it.
