# Fatuus
Just my (probably bad) attempt at trying to code a tiny browser-only webOS without any prior experience.

It does run, try it [here](https://niknikovsky.github.io/fatuus/)

It might around 2 minutes for the website to be accessible after a push, this is standard GitHub behavior

## KNOWN ISSUES
### Text editor
- Remembers last file even though the option for that is unchecked in settings
- Font size does not stay persistent across sessions
### File Manager
- Creating new folders does not work
- Real storage does not exist, it's all just mock storage defined in the code
- The manual Directory typing box does not work
### Music Player
- Literally a placeholder application
### Settings
- No preferences seem to stick (such as appearance or language for example)
### Other
- Background can sometimes cause text to be unreadable
Look at the issues tab for more info (if present)

## Planned features
- **File Manager app** - Browse and manage files
- **Settings app** - System preferences and configuration, currently not working
- **Multi user functionality** - User accounts and login
- **User Storage** - Persistent file storage
- **Music/Video Player** - Media playback

- **Custom icons, wallpapers** - Personalization options
# So, what happened?
It's simple really.

I lost the will to make this (and some other things) and chose to pursue other things (like becoming a Fedora Design Team member, or focusing on school).

It's been a fun ride while it lasted and gave me something to do during remote learing.
