Browser Operating System (BOS) version 1.0.0

This is the first (and very crude) version of the operating system running in browser. It's not full blown operating system, but rather a show case of what browser and javascript ecosystem is cabable of.

Version 1.1.0

• Tech used in this project

  • Solid Js - Alternative to React js. I just love the way solid js only handles reactivity so it doesn't rertender the whole components but only the ones being updated

  • Sass - I have used css, sass, styled components and tailwind css. I love tailwind but I love the functionality of sass since it is superset of css.

  • BrowserFs GitHub Repo - This allows to emulate fs api in node in browser. This seems to be very useful ut I have not incorporated it fully into my app. I will be done soon .. in version 1.1.0

  • Docker DockerPage - The docker is now an industry standard to containerize an app.

  • Google Cloud Run GoogleCloudRun - Used to build CI/ CD pipe easily. I could have used GCP from ground up, but I love the simplicity of Google Cloud Run
