I wanted a <strong>central hub</strong> where <br> developers could showcase their work and users could find these <br> cool experiments easily.</p> <h2> Tech stack </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Frontend:</strong> Vanilla JS / HTML / CSS (no frameworks, keeping it lightweight)</li> <li> <strong>Backend:</strong> Supabase (PostgreSQL + RLS policies)</li> <li> <strong>Auth:</strong> Custom RPC-based authentication</li> <li> <strong>Hosting:</strong> GitHub Pages + Cloudflare Workers</li> </ul> <h2> Some features </h2> <ul> <li>Global rating system (one vote per user per project)</li> <li>Admin panel for managing submissions</li> <li>Tag-based filtering</li> <li>Dark mode UI 🌙</li> </ul> <h2> Check it out! </h2> <p>🔗 <a href="https://web-os-community.tfhy5321.workers.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer">web-os-community.tfhy5321.workers.dev</a></p> <p>If you have a web OS project, feel free to submit it! <br> PRs are welcome 🙌</p> <p><em>What web-based OS have you seen that blew your mind? <br> Drop it in the comments!</em></p> webdev webos opensource showdev
