Manual OS

  • 11 Devlogs

This is Manual OS where every action is manual, and you have to install a package in console to use it 🥵🥵

Ship #2

The idea is that to use apps and use basic OS functionality you have to install packages through console!
To enable this “OS MODE” you need to choose “EVERYTHING MANUAL” in the lock screen!
I am really proud of how comfy and functional OS became, how you can scale and scale it even more, and more. It was the right choice to think about project future in the beggining, and maybe overthink project architecture.

To test project press “Try project” or press link .
What will you see:

  • Booting screen
  • Lock screen, to continue press “Space”
  • Input to enter your username (enter at least three characters)
  • Choose what mode you want (everything preinstalled or everything manual) - for fast test you can choose everything preinstalled, but if you want to really suffer from idea in the begginning then chooose everything manual!

Video game in my OS

I added a functionality to the trash app. Now to clear “cache” in my OS, you have to play a game where you need to catapult trash to target. Controlls:

  • Input ranges - vertical and horizontal trajectory
  • Enter or SHOOT button - launch
  • R - restart game after loss
    Also you can sometimes delete needed information for OS functionality and will be activated self destruction mode
    Game is written with a bit of math and html canvas)

Update of the File Explorer

In this addition i added more manuality to basic functions and huge amount of small fixes that enabled me to add new things. Some small updates:

  • Added seconds to time
  • Skip option for booting screent by pressing ESC
  • Everything preinstalled is now a default so testers will be able to use system more easily
    Also as it is shown in the image now there is new look to File Exlorer and it can now open txt files in notepad, though some of functions like searching are not working yet. Images one of which is stored in Documents folder is opening as text in notepad showing link.
    Next update I will polish File Explorer and add Image Viewer

First steps of MANUALITY

Toady I added two main thing and first is the taskbar update - was added decorative icon and time in right side (hh:mm:ss and dd:mm:yyyy)
Also I added install command that shows animation of installation as well as changes in dictionary that package was installed. For now it doesnt work - system feels as everything preinstalled but next thing to do is to add restrictions to system usage without proper installations.

More commands and boot screen

I reworked app opening logic so now you can open an app with one terminal command, like notepad or web.
Also now before lock screen booting screen can be seen. It shows ~350 lines of some made up text to imitate linux boot screen. It takes about 5.5 seconds to boot up.

Terminal

Now that is the projects main part - terminal installs - manual part. User will have to install packages to do something - open apps, close apps, minimize apps - super MANUAL, so disk is not flooded with unnecessary packages.
Today I added terminal and help command, with plans to expand amount of commands. Interesting part of implementation was color setup - I made terminal structure rework from initial idea. With this console structure I can easily write new colors to show in terminal. There is also easter egg)).
Whats next:

  • Command expansion and make them actually work
  • Lock screen
  • Manuality
  • other fun stuff

P.S. Manu testers may be fooled, but you can actually open multiple windows of the same app, as much as you want, just like in Linux or any other OS.

Ship #1

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)
