I created a WebOS that runs in the browser. The most difficult part was creating the windows resizing and drag system. You can test the WebOS here: https://silver-pithivier-eb60d2.netlify.app/

Hey guys!!
Today was a huge update for the project. The WebOS was in a pretty unstable state after messing with the terminal, but after fixing some critical issues I was able to improve the architecture and add a lot of new features.
Here are the main improvements from today:
Fixed a critical JavaScript crash caused by a corrupted File Explorer function
Rebuilt the Terminal, Settings, and File Explorer systems
Introduced a centralized APPS registry for easier application management
Simplified app launching with a cleaner architecture
Added 5 new applications:
- Calculator with chained operations
- Music Player with upload, controls, seek bar, and volume
- Image Viewer with zoom and fit-to-screen
- Task Manager showing running windows and processes
The project now feels much closer to a real desktop environment instead of just a web application.
In the next devlogs, I want to improve the File Explorer with copy/paste support, add Minesweeper, and introduce more modern UI effects like system tray controls.
P.S Today i tried to create the custom file format but ended just creating more bugs
Thanks for reading this!!!
