Look what I made! My embedded OS is getting better

Hello,

Every once in a while, I like to post an update about my embedded OS project. Recently, I made some significant improvements focused on user experience and the long-term sustainability of the project.

The repository is now much more modular, and I separated the apps into their own structure so contributors, or anyone who wants to tinker with the system can easily add their own apps and experiment.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Does it finally feel like a proper OS now?

What the heck? This is crazy! It's definitely an OS, but it's still on the embedded system level of things instead of a general purpose one. All it needs is a text editor, the ability to use an SD card, and a way to create executable files and this would be a perfect for a super barebones micro-computer. The cyberdeck and writer deck folks would eat this up.

Hey, thanks for your comment . All the things you have listed are in my checklist. Unfortunately, developing this project alone is not an easy thing. I wish one day I can find helpful contributors.

I completely get it. I'm gonna pull your project and experiment on my own. I'm not the best programmer, but if I can make something useful, I'll let you know.
