So yeah I tried to recreate a Windows-y thing in the browser.
It’s not real Windows obviously lol, but it has a lock screen and then a home page.
No big frameworks or anything. Just HTML/CSS/JS.
- Lock screen with time + date (like the real one)
- Click anywhere / press Enter to go to the PIN screen
- If you type the PIN right, it takes you to the home page
- A bottom app tray on the home page with some icons
Just open index.html in your browser.
I am currently actively working on this project. The goal is to keep it pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Third-party libraries will only be introduced if absolutely necessary for complex functionality.
- Main Grid: Implement draggable items that automatically snap/place themselves into the nearest available grid cell.
- Window Manager: Develop a core window system that handles:
- Basic window frame controls (Minimize, Maximize, Close).
- Draggable window functionality.
- Z-index management for active windows.
- More to come... (I have a lot planned!)
