Devlog #15
I tried fixing the url updating thing but sadly I couldn’t find a work around
H̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶U̶r̶l̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶n̶t̶ ̶u̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶l̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶ (unpatchable)
I’ll leave it in for now (please comment if anyone knows how to fix)

Anyways More bug fixes:
now middle clicking only the header closes the site (middle clicking the entire tab used to)
also sadly I’m discontinuing floating tabs and focusing more on tiling (temporarily)
also I fixed the time widget which was glitchy (temperature has not been added yet but will be added soon!)
i fixed the reload button so it actually works

Change logs:
disabled floating tabs
fixed reload button
fixed timer widget

Also update deployed check it out at
https://onkokain.github.io/webOS/

NOTE: You can’t open websites like google.com/youtube.com since they dont work in I haven’t found a way to fix this yet that isn’t very expensive or very inefficient so please don’t vote on that basis (Since it is literally impossible to do that due to security reasons)
(p.s I’ll be including this in every message till I find a fix!)

Devlog #10
The ship results are out! I only got 17.94 cookies/hr ( i was aiming above 20 but meh)
Now lemme rant about all the reviews:
originality: come on yall there’s no other tiling based webOS out there (that i know of) please dont be this harsh
read me: uh oops i forgot to update the read me; ima work on it asap sorry for this
usability: dawg you don’t use my project for 30s and give it a 3/9 on usability 😭
technicality: no complains here thanks to everyone

complains I got:
Hackertype failed with ctrl +C -> this was an unintended feature which is now completely removed (Esc) is the right key

text is hard to read -> ima increase the text size with tailwind instead of hardcoding it ; ty for the feedback

website don’t work -> thinking of a workaround!!
no fun commands -> adding them after I fix most of the major bugs; expect this in the next ship
wallpapers not showing -> I left some dead wallpapers that were hardcoded colors; removed them now
make windows draggable -> sir this is a wend- (tiling based OS) you can drag a window from one FIXED place to another by holding left clikc on it and just.. dragging it..
buttons to close windows doesn’t work -> but it does.. all 3 buttons close the windows (js for aesthetics atp)
Fullscreen doesn’t work -> implementing that very soon!

Change logs:
Made so switching tabs wouldn’t reset user data
removed middle clicking on a browser closing it
Added animated wallpapers + wallpaper previews finally work

Bugs:
All bugs from last ship not including persistent tabs

Also the latest version has been deployed at:
https://onkokain.github.io/webOS/
Please test it out and lemme know if any bugs :D

NOTE: You can’t open websites like google.com/youtube.com since they dont work in I haven’t found a way to fix this yet that isn’t very expensive or very inefficient so please don’t vote on that basis (Since it is literally impossible to do that due to security reasons)
(p.s I’ll be including this in every message till I find a fix!)

Remove old test color wallpapers
Added panoramic wallpapers
Minor bug fixes + UI tweaks

Bugs:
Mobile feature

Color changes

p.s My app.jsx has reached 866 lines!!! (I plan to split it once it hits 1500 lines, wish me luck </3 )

Devlog #7
Just wanted to say I fixed the bug where all files were being opened as text files
Videos/ Pictures and Audio are now properly stored on the web!!

Also i got a review for most webistes not working since you cant use iframe for most modern websites, i have decided to make my own search engine (thanks for the idea hehe) for now the place holder search engine is https://vyntr.com/
credit to: https://www.youtube.com/@FaceDevStuff for making this

Bug Fixes:
Fixed the opening files bug on desktop and file manager!

Devlog #6
This devlog mostly includes testing and bug hunting so not as many features added
I changed saving a notepad to ctrl +S (since alt + S was bugging)
I also added a ‘reset’ command in cmd to reset userdata
Also added ctrl + arrow keys to move from one focused window + another!!
(this is approaching closer and closer to hyprland!!)

Known Bugs: (Don’t complain about them pls they’ll be fixed in the upcoming devlogs)
The mobile feature I added/ tested on chrome with the mobile emulation only works on chrome and not on an actual mobile 😭 aka there’s no mobile support (for now atleast; i also have a lot of css to make dynamic)
Dragging and moving any browser window with youtube video playing is very buggy (this should be fixed in the next devlog)
Changing color of text changes color of everything including taskbar icons and everything (will be fixed asap too; not one of my priorities tho)
Taking pictures,videos,audio works and it’s properly deployed but my dumbahh made it so all files when opened let you rewrite them (as a .txt) [this is the highest in my priority and will surely be fixed in the devlog; iff I don’t find a bug greater than this]

thenks for reading ;D

Devlog #4
The app is officially out!!!
You can check it at https://github.com/Onkokain/PEF/releases/tag/v1
The logo is currently a bit buggy but I’ll fix it in the next dev log
Since the basic concept is over I’m planning to add compression algorithms to make it more optimal to use as a daily driver

Change Logs:
Added a logo (kinda)
Released a working application
some UI changes

Bugs:
logo is currently buggy
no option to add/open multiple files at once

Devlog #3
(I think i added this yesterday but forgot to post it but whatever)
I used pyinstaller to make the application into an exe that can be downloaded and viewed by anyone!!
I still have to add the option to convert png to jpg but that’s coming soon

Change Logs:
Added a .exe file that can be downloaded

(ps im gonna work on the UI soon as I’m planning on shifting to pyqt from tkinter <3 )

Devlog #2
Since the test worked, I implemented a simple app viewer with tkinter. Now i can view my custom .pef files!!

Change Logs:
Commented out the initial test and added code that converts a .png file into a .pef file
Added UI with tkinter

Devlog #1
I’m currently working on making my own image format .pef [Acro for Picture Efficient Format]. It is a image format built around storage efficiency rather than picture quality; the images of any format (planning to do png 1st) are conveted to .pef

Updates:
Created a git repo
Wrote a simple decoder/encoder script
Wrote a simple test file (it works yayy)

Bug Fixes:
N/A

Devlog #5
Added a Personalize Tab in the settings
Contains:
font color
font size
font style
(for now)
Took me 2hours to figure ts out ( why am i this bad)
Anyways
Features added:
Upgraded settings menu with personalize
change global text color, style,size
removed color command from terminal since it was bugging
Also added a failsafe since most websites dont work on the browser
some websites that do work are:
wikipedia.com
hackclub.com
youtube.com/embed/<video_id>

Devlog #4

I voted 12 times after the ship and read through a lot of reviews of other projects on #flavortown-share-votes and I learned that many people are on ipads/phones
Hence for this devlog I implemented the tileable windows to work on touch displays as well
(double tap and drag to move it, as simple as that)

Features implemented:
Tileable windows for mobile

Bug Fixes:
N/A

p.s. I dont have a phone to test this on so i’m using the chrome debug menu (i hope it works the same on mobile devices)

Devlog 3:
I fixed some UI bugs with the filemanager app
Bugs:
When the file manager was a floating window the contextmenu (the add files/folder) popup was at the wrong position
You couldn’t press the 3 buttons to close a floating window (div size bug)

Fixes:
Changed div size so it doesnt overlap the 3 buttons and they are now functional
Changed context menu to take the relative size of the window instead of the entire screen and the mouse appears on the correct position now
All 3 buttons currently close the app (i am planning to add extended functionality soon or remove then as they are obscelete in a tiling based os)

// I’m writing a devlog after each feature !!

This time I added the command:
font

This command is used to change the size of the font in the terminal.
It doesn’t save to local state so it’s lost once you close the terminal. It also applies to only one terminal at a time. (Do i add a setting that changes it in all terminals when done once? idk i think it’d be useful)

Features Added:
/font command
/fontsize command
failsafe so that font can’t be below 7 and above 67

I changed the hackertype feature to work like hackertype.com (W website)
Before it used to print a random series of text very fast
but now every character entered -> 8 characters typed on the string
p.s. i copied a very large file from the internet and added (~8k lines)

The logic is simple enough but took me a while to figure it out since react/vite didnt let me directly import a txt file into a jsx file and i had to find a workaround using the fetch command!

Added features:
updated hackertype
added the command hacktype to work as well
added a failsafe to hackertype so that the user is prompted to press Esc to escape

// Worked on this project again
Learned how to implement background music, change color of fonts
Completely overhauled the map and learned advanced tile mapping

added 12 coins scattered throughout the map
added a label that displays the amount of coins collected

Followed a basic youtube tutorial to get to know the language
Used publicly available assets to draw
Current Features:
Movable character with walking/turning animation
Rocks and wood blocks that block player movement
Boundary trees that prevent the player from escaping the area
Hold Shift to sprint (yet to add custom sprinting animation)

Version 0.1:
Added the barebone code
Converts all youtube comments into random quotes to prevent doom scrolling
