    I love 'web-desktops' so made a comprehensive github repo listing 171 such webDesktops that people made. AaronOS is a part of it wit proper attribution to original creator.

    Please have a look here, you will love it : https://github.com/zriyans/awesome-OS

    How cool to see my project on here!

    Been working on it for roundabout seven years.

    If anyone's got questions, fire away!

    I tried eyeOS long time ago. A plan I never put forward was to use it as a UI to remotely control some device or give access to a few resources of the computer it was running on. Now that tor allows me to give a "universal" name for a machine, maybe I'll think again about doing that.

    Looks better & feels snappier than w11(which granted is a low bar).Not usually a fan of such web-based projects but this looks good, and it's not a full-on replica so points for originality aswell.

    Looks nice, especially in the full screen mode. Not sure what this is for though. Anyone care to enlighten me?

    Love the look. Would love if this was an installable OS :D

    I like how the window controls spell "VOX"

    Absolutely love it when people who don't know the difference between OS, DE and a shell start writing "OS"s :D

    Otherwise it is quite impressive given the circumstances.
