Big Sir

Joining the mac os clone wars.. Here's mine

Built with React and XState

Features

• Draggable desktop icons. Click to open corresponding apps
• Context Menu to reset icon positions
• Window management (focus priority, minimize, maximize)
• Terminal
  • Able to open/view files in NeoVim (ex: nvim home/personal/Resume.js)
    • I disabled the cat command, only nvim works
  • Basic commands such as ls|cd|pwd|^C|CMD + K
  • Command history
  • Autocompletion with tab (suggests multiple options if there are more than on match)
  • Launch html files in chrome app with open (ex: open home/projects/narutoql.html)
• Chrome
  • History/bookmarks
  • Note: most sites don't allow iframes to load them
• Finder
  • Able to open/view apps in three mode (detail/list/icon)

Whats next?

• Ability to create html files and view them live on chrome (like codepen)
• Spotify desktop client
• more terminal features (ex: help)
• Anything really..

I tried to keep only things that were functional on the app. The visual only components at the moment are the command panel top right and the trashcan
