Microsoft Windows Ripoff, including:

Try it out here

• Bad Windows ripoffs (as in the things you can open and close not the OS but its also a ripoff of the OS)
• Bad Powershell ripoff with a few commands
• Bad Notepad ripoff, used to write and read files
• Bad File Explorer ripoff

System Files are stored in localstorage.

Terminal:

Terminal has very little functionality, since I decided i had spent way to long on this project and didn't want to spend any more time. The terminal has a 'clear' command and a 'notepad' command (which opens the notepad process) - you can also use 'notepad <path>' to open a specific text file, but the absolute path must be given.

Features and functionality:

• Open a window and move it around
• Open multiple windows and move them around
• The taskbar clock works!
• Open multiple windows and minimize them/close them, focus different windows, etc.
• Use notepad write some text, then save it somewhere in the file system
• Click on a text file in the file explorer to open it in notepad
  • Careful, it will overwrite the currently open file!
  • There are currently no warnings in notepad for overwriting/closing unsaved files.
• Create a new folder with the icon in the top left of the file explorer (or even in the notepad save as/open dialog)
• Delete files and folders from either explorer or the notepad dialogs
• You can set absolute paths for the file explorer using the top bar.
  • Paths are formatted like /folder1/folder2/file.txt or /folder1/
  • The input bar will autocorrect you if a string is improperly formatted.

if you open console yes the library of babel is being generated in there every two seconds but whatever

Things I wanted to add but didn't have time for:

• Better styling bruh
• Renaming files - recursively updating paths took too long and I just decided to not include it
• cd, ls, cat, mkdir, etc. commands to the terminal
• Opening multiple windows of the same process at a time
• Maybe a lock screen and a login system?
• Right click menus, options, etc.
• Other apps like clock, calculator, settings, etc.

Technology & Dependencies:

• ReactJS 18.2 for appearance and JS for handling all the logic
  • webpack, etc. (Everything that comes with cra)
  • (No Typescript (oops), Tailwind, etc.)
• npm gh-pages (dev dependency) for deployment

No other non-base packages used.
