Overview

A desktop operating system in a browser tab: window manager, terminal and dock, built from scratch.

The story

This portfolio itself. A desktop OS in a browser tab, built with Next.js 15, React 19, Framer Motion and Zustand. Because a static page felt boring.

Boot sequence, draggable windows, a real terminal, dock magnification and an iOS-style phone shell on mobile, plus this very Projects app you're reading through.
