Show HN: OS Yamato – A gentle digital OS inspired by wabi-sabi

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share OS Yamato, a minimalist experimental operating system I've been developing solo over the past 3 months, inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi (simplicity, impermanence, quiet beauty).

Unlike typical operating systems that focus on endless storage and engagement, OS Yamato is designed as a "digital garden" — data blooms and fades, and everything eventually returns to the wind if left untouched (auto-deletes after 365 days).

Key concepts - Data fades if left untouched (notes, photos, contacts, chats) - Seasonal and poetic animations for each interaction - No ads, no infinite scroll — designed to let you breathe

Tech stack - Frontend: Vue 3 + Vite - Backend: AWS Amplify (Cognito, AppSync, DynamoDB, S3)

Anyone can try it directly Website (live demo): https://hanaco875.com

I’m also continuously adding features (like ad-free AI search). I’d love feedback or thoughts from fellow builders and wanderers!

Thanks for reading!
