A web-based OS based on mythology that functions similarly to modern operating systems, with apps and a taskbar. It displays the local time and has multiple apps, such as a calculator, file explorer, search engine, email, and a camera app.

I added a few extra features, including a music player and a printer app. Moreover, I changed the files and mail apps, where the user can actually edit and use the files. The user can also send mail and receive mail. However, the app is not connected to any real mail platforms, which I have been trying to fix.
I am incredibly excited to launch MythicOS, a myth-inspired web operating system simulation that merges the sleek user experience of modern desktop design with the rich, transcendent imagery of ancient Vedic cosmology. Operating out of the symbolic nodes of Mount Kailash, MythicOS serves as a conceptual workspace environment designed to monitor data planes, manage cosmic records, and explore dynamic realms across coordinates. Building an entire windowing environment inside a flat web browser came with unique architectural hurdles, specifically managing multi-state window configurations, prioritizing global display z-index depth stacking, and converting standard hardware APIs—like webcam video streams—into thematic native modules like the Sanjaya Drishti Lens without disrupting pure CSS layouts. I am incredibly proud of achieving a highly responsive, vanilla frontend architecture that delivers heavy glassmorphism, fluid drag mechanics, and real-time state data persistence in the Akashic Records without a single external library dependency. To fully test the environment, I highly recommend launching the application nodes from the bottom tray dock, opening The Divya Sight to enter dynamic search keyphrases like ganita or drishti, and altering the plane tapestry via the Dharma Laws configuration layer to watch the workspace interface fluidly adapt in real-time.

I added a few comments to the code and published my site on Github Pages. This project will be further developed in WebOS 2.

I was able to finish the functionality of the apps. Majority of my time making this OS was spent on choosing the background colors, wallpapers, and design. I tried a few different ideas, and ended up using an Apple inspired design with the button. However, I was not able to find proper images for the apps that were suitable to design, so I kept the emojis temporarily. My plan is to add more apps and change the app icons. However, this will be the final devlog before I ship it for WebOS 1.

I changed the theme from the initial OS design. I also added the search engine at the bottom, the purple app. I added an email app that will let you connect to your Gmail account, and changed the wallpaper in the background. My next step is to add the settings app, camera, calculator, file explorer, and more. I will also add the functionality for the two apps. Most of my time has been spent on trying to find icons for my app, most of which are currently emojis, but will soon change.

I just finished the guide for WebOS 1. Interesting to follow through. I was able to create the background and my first app, a Notes app, with maximize, minimize, and closing functions. The app is also able to store the notes, so when the app is closed and reopened, the writing is still there. The OS also displays the time and date at the top. My next step is to create a few more apps, create a task bar, and add the setting function.
