I built a community platform to discover all Web-based OS projects 🖥️

Hey DEV community! 👋

I've been building web apps for a while, and I noticed there was
no good place to discover and rate web-based OS projects
those cool browser-based operating systems you can run without
installing anything.

So I built Web OS Community 🎉

What is it?

A platform where you can:

  • 🔍 Browse web-based OS projects (Windows XP, Ubuntu, macOS clones, and more)
  • Rate your favorites with a global rating system
  • 🏷️ Filter by tags (webos, demo, linux, macos, windows...)
  • 📤 Submit your own web OS project via GitHub PR

Why I built this

The existing resources were scattered — some projects on GitHub,
some on random personal pages. I wanted a central hub where
developers could showcase their work and users could find these
cool experiments easily.

Tech stack

  • Frontend: Vanilla JS / HTML / CSS (no frameworks, keeping it lightweight)
  • Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL + RLS policies)
  • Auth: Custom RPC-based authentication
  • Hosting: GitHub Pages + Cloudflare Workers

Some features

  • Global rating system (one vote per user per project)
  • Admin panel for managing submissions
  • Tag-based filtering
  • Dark mode UI 🌙
