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
