Hey everyone,

I've been building Forge OS — a Python virtual OS for learning and experimenting with OS concepts.

v2.0 adds a desktop GUI, and there's now a community Apps/ folder — add an app with just app.json + command.py.

Quick start for contributors:

1. Fork & clone the repo
2. Copy Apps/_example/ to Apps/your-app/
3. Edit the JSON + Python command
4. Run apps in the shell to see your app
5. Open a PR

Full guide: CONTRIBUTIONS.md
Repo: https://github.com/axk42-op/ForgeOS · MIT license

Games, utilities, quizzes, ASCII art — great first open-source PR. Feedback welcome!

I'm currently developing Forge OS, a virtual operating system built entirely in Python.

Forge OS is not a real operating system or kernel. Instead, it provides a self-contained operating system environment that runs as a Python application, with the primary goal of creating a platform where developers can write code, test software, and perform common development tasks within a consistent environment.

The long-term vision includes:

• Custom terminal and shell
• Virtual file system
• User and permission management
• Process management
• Package manager (forgepkg)
• Command execution environment
• Virtual desktop environment
• Application framework

Planned applications include:

• vi
• vim
• Neovim
• Vimge (a fork inspired by Vim)
• Forge (a fork inspired by VS Code)
• Forgium (a fork inspired by Chromium)

The intention is for users to be able to perform everyday development workflows inside Forge OS, including editing code, managing projects, running commands, testing applications, using Git, installing packages, and eventually supporting multiple programming languages and developer tools through the package manager.

This project is primarily a learning experience focused on software architecture, shell development, virtual file systems, package management, desktop application development, and operating system concepts. Although it is not a real operating system, the goal is to provide an environment that feels familiar to developers while remaining lightweight and fully implemented in Python.

I welcome feedback on the architecture, feature set, and overall design. Suggestions from developers and open-source contributors are greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on ColorSnap, an open-source UI library and developer community focused on helping developers build modern web applications faster.

What we're building:

• Reusable UI components
• Modern design system ideas
• Open-source collaboration
• Developer community on Discord
• Resources for frontend developers and designers

We're still growing and would love feedback from fellow developers on:

• UI component ideas
• Documentation improvements
• Features you'd like to see
• Community suggestions

If you're interested in frontend development, UI/UX, React, Next.js, or open source, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think. Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks! 🚀

Hey everyone,

I just published v0.0.1 of ColorSnap UI — a minimal, themeable React component library I've been building.

This is a fresh rebuild from the ground up. v0.0.1 is intentionally small — just the foundation:

- `Button` (default, outline, ghost)

- `Input` (label, error state, focus ring)

- `Card` (title, description, footer slots)

- ESM + CJS output via Vite library mode

- CDN bundle via jsDelivr (no build step needed)

**Install**

```

npm install u/colorsnap/ui

```

**CDN**

```html

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@colorsnap/ui/dist/colorsnap.umd.js"></script>

```

v0.1.0 is already in progress — 30+ components across 6 categories, 7 built-in themes with a `setTheme()` helper, and a full docs site.

GitHub: https://github.com/axk42-op/Colorsnap-UI

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@colorsnap/ui

Would love any feedback — especially on the API design before I expand it in v0.1.0.

Guys, check out our website: https://wordflow.co.in🚀 We’re now working on an app inspired by MS Word, but built for the modern era. WordFlow will be cleaner, faster, more customizable, and packed with features made for writers, journalists, students, and anyone who works with words daily. One thing that makes WordFlow different is that AI will always be optional. If you want AI-powered features, you can enable them.
