This is my very own OS that can be run in the web!

Took FounderOS from “working desktop” to something that actually feels like a product. Added a cinematic lock screen — clock, avatar, unlock animation — that gates absolutely nothing, since Stardance requires no password. It just asks you to hit Enter, which turned out to be a fun constraint: you can get the “login page” feel without actually locking anyone out.

Built a ⌘K command palette that fuzzy-searches every app and action, a live theming engine with 6 accent colors and 4 wallpapers that recolor the entire OS in real time and persist to localStorage, and window edge-snapping with a live preview overlay when you drag to a screen edge.

Hit two real bugs worth noting: my CSS accidentally overrode the browser’s native hidden attribute, so the lock screen and command palette never actually closed — classic CSS specificity trap. And an SVG chart line was invisible because stroke="var(--accent)" doesn’t resolve CSS variables as a presentation attribute, only in actual CSS. Moved it into a stylesheet and the chart came alive.
