    Aurora-OS.js – a tiny OS-like desktop in JavaScript (try demo)▲8

    Hi HN — I built Aurora-OS.js, a lightweight, embeddable OS-style desktop UI written in plain JavaScript. It’s intended for demos, in-browser desktop experiences, and learning OS/desktop concepts without a heavy framework. The future of this project is a fully playable hacking simulator to be released on Steam and other marketplaces. Contributors & testers wanted!
