Project of the day (day 2) 2023, Thursday, August 24th

#WacOS : https://github.com/seanpm2001/WacOS

WacOS is an operating system project that aims to allow the look, feel, and functionality of all #Apple operating systems and bundled software (including, but not limited to: System 1-6, Classic #MacOS, Mac OS X, OS X, MacOS (modern), #iPhoneOS, #iOS, #iPadOS, #NewtonOS, S.O.S, GS/OS, #tvOS, #NeXTSTEP, #watchOS, #Siri, #MacPaint, #MacWrite, etc.) in an open-source, and unrestricted way.

WacOS is also a dual-kernel operating system, which utilizes both the #Linux Kernel and the #Darwin Kernel.

It is a major project, with over a hundred repositories, but it isn't functional yet. It is also my second most popular project (as of 2023, Thursday, August 24th) with 41 stars. It is a major endeavor, and needs some love. It is written in over 50 different programming languages, due to its complexity and its scale. Anyone who is interested can start a discussion, raise an issue, or send a pull request.

Today I launched PlayPaint! It's a new retro-style Playdate drawing app. If you ever used Windows Paintbrush or Mac Paint you'll feel right at home.

Then I live-streamed coding up a new feature -- polygons! If this sounds interesting, check out the VOD or subscribe to alerts for future streams on Twitch. (twitch.tv/notnotpeter)

Some fun bot ideas (kinda all #VintageMac):

* Apple I bot — interact with an Apple!

* MacWarehouse bot — tells you the current hot deals and "blowouts" (IYKYK) on the latest Mac hardware and software

But the one I want to really make:

* A collaborative #MacPaint bot — It would use an actual emulated Mac running MacPaint, where everyone would be able to add something to a single document (which would reset periodically)—although this could get ugly, because you know, the Internet.

Streaming tonight! Going to do some #composing and then going to play around with a little #MacPaint

And maybe some #PlayStation2 after that? Who knows! Get in here!
