I worked on the Messages app for the operating system, making it more interactive with JavaScript. I moved the conversation data into a separate messages.js file to keep the code organized and added group chats and DMs with different personalities. I also ran into a few bugs, including conversations is not defined, which turned out to be caused by an earlier error preventing messages.js from loading, and I accidentally used the wrong capitalization when calling a function. After fixing those, I got the app working with pre-generated conversations, message bubbles. The ability to send messages is coming soon!

This is the first, most basic part of the OS! After much deciding and mulling over the options, I chose a Windows-like setup with some interesting buttons. It took quite a bit of time to debug a lot of the errors that came with the Windows windowing system in HTML, CSS, & JS, but we (I) got there eventually! Next step is to build another app…
