OS.js is a light-weight JavaScript based web/cloud desktop solution.

Current version: Alpha

Application API is stable. FS and Handler API is subject to change.

If you find any bugs report them back to me and I'll have them squashed

• Completely rewritten (API breakage)
• Easier to extend core and deploy custom builds
• Easier to create custom applications
• Smaller and faster
• Tons of improvements
• Dropped support for legacy browsers
• Runs standalone on any web-server (Filesystem APIs requires using the PHP or Node backend)
• Very simple setup
• No 3rd party libraries (runs on native browser libs)

• Window Manager
• Desktop Environment
• Session Handling (Support for resuming previous workspaces)
• Package Management (User-installable applications)
• User Management (Custom login and settings storage)
• GUI Library (With Drag-and-drop support)
• Dialog Library
• Supports both Applications and Background-services
• File System functions
• A basic Theme implementation (icons, sounds and CSS styles)
• Multi-user environment support
• Localization and translations

Comes bundeled with the default theme and some applications:

• Draw - A simple drawing application
• File Manager - File Management
• Preview - For viewing images and videos
• Music Player - For listening to audio files
• Process Viewer - View running processes
• Textpad - A notepad-type application
• Writer - Richtext editor

You can easily add more applications by using external repositories. More information on Wiki
