I made a fully working WEB OS with draggable windows and multiple applications (trash bin - for decor, web browser - that accepts only urls and of course notepad). The thing that I am most proud of is funcional taskbar. To test my project just click “try project” and open apps by double clicking on desktop applications. BTW desktop icons are also draggable.

Functional taskbar and notepad

Now taskbar is not a decoration it is a functinable piece of software. You can choose app to open, choose whats app is on top of other and minimizing works. If you minimize app now pressing in the taskbar you can bring it back! Now thats pretty cool HUH? 😅 Also I added Notepad where you can write something, no functionaluty for now only textarea but looks goood.
Also used backdrop-filter: blur(25px) to blur backgrounds, looks good to me.

Added windows and added browser application

I added so when you double click on icon the window with app opens. Also browser was added. It is not google, funny thing google simply doesnt work in iframe. Also these windows are draggable from left side.
You can write a url and press Enter, then site will be loaded. In exaples can be seen Wikipedia and my other project - Authentication template )

I started my Manual OS

The idea is to make Web OS where nothing is installed and you have to install everything manually. There will be two options to use complete instalation or do manualy. Right now i am building main part then to split it and make users to install by parts everything (instalation is only in UI)
