This is my very own OS that can be run in the web!
Ship #2
This is my ship for the WebOS 2 mission. It’s built off of the original WebOS mission site but even flashier. The notes app I have created is what I am the most proud of because notes can be saved and loaded even if the page is refreshed. It was complicated getting all of it to work but I’m really happy and enjoyed getting it to a finished state.

Devlog 8 - Saving Notes
I added the ability for notes to be saved to the browser so that even on a refresh of the page you could still use the notes already made. I spent a lot of time debugging this as it was super complex to get working but it finally works.

Devlog 7 - Second app
This app is a pretty basic app yet its still a little complicated to make. I had to clean up little bits of code from other things and adjust it to make it easier to make new apps and add onto the code that was already made. Styling was easy as it all uses one mostly universal theme. Notes can be saved and deleted however I want to add the ability to load them off of the desktop which I may work on.

Devlog 6 - Intro Animation
I cleaned up code to make it overall more optimised. The main thing I got to do was adding an intro animation to the site. It made it look a little fancier and reminiscent to the intro of subnautica itself. I got stuck getting text to show up on the page but after a bit of debugging I made the overlay work and now it works great
Ship #1
This WebOS is themed around subnautica, I found alot of the javascript challenging, understanding how to make the code and ensuring it all works too without any issues took me a while, this was why one of the devlogs had 6 hours logged. I am really proud of the project overall and I really liked how I started to understand JavaScript to make some of the features I wanted such as the sonar effect when the desktop thing.

Devlog 5 - Click animation
This was way easier to make compared to the things I had to make before this, all it is, is a simple effect that plays when the desktop is clicked, its simple but I think looks nice and fits the theme overall of the site.

Devlog 4 - My first app
I created my first basic app for the webOS, it holds a little information about some of the creatures that can be found in subnautica. This has taken me a large amount of time of debugging and testing to get things to work such as window selection and styling. This was mainly due to javascript as I dont really have a big understanding on it.

Devlog 3 - Windows
After a bit of debugging I finally added the function to open and close the window, being able to actually get the windows to be moveable was less of a hassle. The javascript is set up to make making new windows easier for apps I created on the OS. Next is actually making my first app for this.

Devlog 2 - OS bar
I learnt a little more about javascript making this part of the WebOS as I had to use javascript in order to get the date and time to line up with the current time inside of the bar. I also decided to move where the was when I first created it to the bottom similar to how windows is. Finally I also made the welcome message which I thought was nicely made and im ready to make the moveable windows for the OS

Devlog 1 - The Start
I started creating my WebOS which is themed around subnautica, I added my profile picture and made it so that it can be clicked to get to my GitHub account, I also added a little photo of a pet I have.
