I'm back to work on #smolOS. This weekend I want to release final stable and feature-complete version! :)
I'm now mostly testing and writing documentation. For example, how to write and run own program in smolOS? (see image)

Here is example of last things I want to add to the editor:
- <number> -> jumps to the page including that line
- line -> add new line at the end
line <number> -> insert new line after line number
- always adds new line at the end of file
- hemingway mode: you just put line after line of text not bother about line numbers
- ctrl+c exits hemingway mode

New, refactored and simplified version of smolOS is very close to Release Candidate! Works like a charm.
There is still this last 1% of polishing here and there but the core idea is set in stone.
Here is the example of createing new file (scritp) and running it :)
There's more that I will list on the release page when it's ready.

smolOS code gets refactored, lot of bugs fixed, and editor finally gets save functionality! :tadam:
The fresh code is at https://github.com/w84death/smolOS and needs few days of testing before I make a new release.
