Devlog #1 WebUnix OS

WebUnix OS is a mini Unix-like desktop that runs completely in your browser.

A single HTML file, some CDN links, and lots of vanilla JavaScript.

It simulates a small desktop environment with a fake boot sequence, login, window manager, terminal, file manager, and virtual filesystem.

The terminal is the core of the project, with around 30 Unix-style commands like ls, cd, cat, grep, find, tree, sudo, and neofetch.

It supports pipes (|), redirection (>), command chaining (&&), tab completion, command history, and Ctrl + L.

The filesystem is fully virtual and stored in memory, shared between the terminal and file manager.

Built entirely with plain browser APIs.

The goal isn’t to create a real operating system, but to recreate the feeling of a Unix desktop inside a single browser page.
