Didn’t expect to see my project on the main page today ‘^^
Right now the build is broken, so you can’t test the full OS, but you can run individual apps with:
Thanks! Skift is basically a patchwork of all the OS ideas I like. The UI takes inspiration from SwiftUI/Flutter, the microkernel is influenced by Zircon, and there are some Plan 9 ideas where everything is a URL. A few bits are probably inspired by NT and Darwin too, though I don’t remember exactly which.
What else does it have rather than beautiful UI? Network support? Sound? What file systems does it support? What about multiple users? What about applications isolation?
It would be nice to have such information displayed somewhere on the site.
It’s a microkernel-based operating system. Mostly just a learning/fun side project for me. It implements something akin to the NixOS /store. Hardware, networking, sound, and the file system are all very barebones. Most of the work so far has been put into the framework, some example apps, and the browser.
```bash ./skift.sh run --release <app-name> ```
on Linux or macOS.
To see all available apps:
```bash ls ./src/apps ```
```bash ./skift.sh run --release vaev-browser -- <url-or-file> ```
The HTTP stack is super barebones, so it only supports `http://` (no HTTPS). It works with my site, but results may vary elsewhere.
Most of my time so far has gone into the styling and layout engine rather than networking.
It would be nice to have such information displayed somewhere on the site.
I am amazed that you also managed to write a browser engine!
