Didn’t expect to see my project on the main page today ‘^^ Right now the build is broken, so you can’t test the full OS, but you can run individual apps with:

```bash ./skift.sh run --release <app-name> ```

on Linux or macOS.

To see all available apps:

```bash ls ./src/apps ```

Kudos for exploring other avenues outside UNIX.

Thanks! Skift is basically a patchwork of all the OS ideas I like. The UI takes inspiration from SwiftUI/Flutter, the microkernel is influenced by Zircon, and there are some Plan 9 ideas where everything is a URL. A few bits are probably inspired by NT and Darwin too, though I don’t remember exactly which.

Maybe adding some Xerox PARC, Oberon, NeXTSTEP / NeWS style, Powershell ideas could also be interesting, on how the shell, UI, and dynamically loaded code (or OS IPC), makes the whole OS customizable, , just throwing another set of ideas into your bucket.

Overall it looks interesting, all the best.
