Show HN: DWS OS, a Plan 9 Inspired Web "OS"

30 tdubey 6 9/12/2025, 3:17:09 PM dws.rip ↗

Hi HN,

I've always loved the aesthetic, quirks, and concepts of Plan9, and I wanted to see how far I could vibe-code a web desktop/OS that resembled it. The result is DWS OS.

My goal was to reach a point where I could build "userspace" apps for this OS, in the OS. DWS OS has a virtual filesystem, an approximation of the ACME editor, file browser, internet browser (just an iframe for fun), and a few other apps to discover.

The environment supports uploading and downloading data from the virtual filesystem, along with support for JavaScript programming within ACME and an API for building GUI apps within DWS OS and interacting with the OS DOM. Lastly, you can export and import the state of your OS as a JSON to share with others! Check out the `examples/` directory!

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions and see if you build anything interesting within the OS, thanks!

I feel the Plan 9 of the web should use the URI as the most important primitive vs a local path. Neat though!

I like how opening the "web browser" app has it load "https://dws.rip" inside. How deep can we go?

Where's the chording?

dws.rip? That hit kind of hard.

I like having acme(ish) in the browser, that's cool!

The fact that the window decoration buttons aren't square bothers me slightly.

this is pretty weak, it's not even virtualization, just faking it all the way?
