RandOS is a web-based desktop operating system where EVERY ASPECT IS RANDOM (Randos get it?). Built entirely in vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no build step or framework, it re-rolls its entire appearance from curated design pools every time you open an app, so each window arrives with its own randomized colors, fonts, and layout while always staying readable.
added some more apps! there are some basic ones like paint and notepad … just a little more chaotic :D
some other apps I added to be on theme are a random quote/joke generator, a sound board, a suggestion box and a wheel of names (pretty tuff).
to add to the CHAOS there are now quick-time events that close all your windows if you fail to complete them :P
P.S. don’t spam the shuffle button (might noclip)
spent some time on this, but I upped the UI. everything has random effects / themes, the wallpapers are full of movement and the cursor is a different sprite each shuffle.
also I added a boot animation with a jack in the box…neat. there’s a chaos shuffle event now that happens every ~3 mins. you get a 3 sec heads up and then EVERYTHING gets randomized, so gl trying to do something lol
next up: make the OS more interactive with more apps and quick-time events (kinda tuff). Also might want to add other basic apps… ;)
so my first stardust project is a webos, but making a normal one sounded boring so i made randos. the whole gimmick: everything is randomized. open the calculator and it looks one way, close it, open it again and it’s totally different colors, different font, different vibe. nothing looks the same twice.
right now it’s got the basics. windows you can drag around, a taskbar, and a handful of apps: a calculator that actually does math, a clock that’s sometimes digital, sometimes an analog dial, sometimes just spells the time out in words, a calendar, and a randomizer that flips coins, rolls dice, or spits out a number from 1 to 100. plus a shuffle button that re-rolls the entire desktop theme whenever you feel like it.
it’s pretty rough rn ngl. the ui is a little janky and the background is just a flat gradient. but it runs, it’s online, and there’s no login so anyone can poke at it

next up: make it look less rough, give the background some actual patterns, and add a couple things i’ve been cooking (a lot more chaotic </3).
