The author has some serious design and coding skills. I just wish they were more precise about what it is (a window manager? an gnome user theme?) rather than trying to brand it as a javascript-based operating system.



I tried to install the OS, assuming it's a debian-derived distro but couldn't download it yet. Checking the author's twitter, patreon, instagram says he released beta 1, and is trying to name the web browser.

My first thoughts when loading the website were "Is this an Apple project?"

It's uncanny how similar the design is to Apple's website. It's crazy how much a brand can monopolise a market just from an aesthetics point of view.
