YouOS is an experimental web desktop produced by WebShaka, that replicates the desktop environment of a modern operating system on a webpage, using JavaScript to communicate with the remote server. This allows users to save the current desktop state to return to later, much like the hibernation feature of some true operating systems, and for multiple users to collaborate using a single environment. The software is currently in alpha stage, and is referred to as a "web operating system" by WebShaka [1].
An easy-to-use API (application programming interface) has been created by WebShaka, and an IDE (integrated development environment) is in development.[citation needed] Over 670 applications have been created using this API [2].
YouShell
YouShell is a JavaScript interpreter that functions as a command line (shell).
The following is a list of the available commands:
- Application management and processes (kill, ps, run)
- Dealing with the YouFS file system (cd, chmod, cp, ls, mkdir, mv, quota, rm, ...)
- Dealing with YouOS server data structures (like hashtables) (ds, dt, dtag, duntag)
- Other commands such as clear, debug, exit, help, props, etc.
