Devlog 7

Spent about 5 hours today, mostly fixes, major changes, and new app

Text Editor:

Dedicated Text editor that can open certain files from Files app.
View and Edit the files easily instead of just previewing it
!! was unable to design it properly because of issues with backdrop blur so had to use solid zinc background color

Unified Filesystem

Future-proofed it so that it can be used in Files.tsx and upcoming Terminal.tsx
Fixed minor bugs
Changed create, restore, delete logic

Files

Added an Empty Trash button
Can restore files now
Open in text editor button
Few bug fixes

Tests

• Added vitest
• Added tests for FileSystemStore and WindowStore
• 14 tests and 2 test files, all passed (commit: Phase 6)

EDIT:

Additional - commit

Linting: migrated from Oxlint to Eslint

Formatted with prettier

Redesigned Text editor

I think i forgot other things, i guess you can read the repo to understand them, also i forgot to use prettier to format all files

Devlog 6
