OrbitOS: A Next.js-Powered Desktop Environment for the Web

Web OS Project: An open-source, OS-style web application built with Next.js and Node.js for group collaboration.

Key features:

πŸ–₯️ Draggable window system with minimize and close controls

πŸ“‹ Glass-style taskbar with live clock and app icons

🎨 Theme engine for quick visual customization

πŸ“ Rich text editor with find-and-replace

βš™οΈ Dynamic app registry for adding new applications

The setup is straightforward and the app registry system makes adding new windows pretty simple.

Comes with three apps out of the box but you can extend it with your own React components.
