Any Help?

I was wondering if you needed help with implementing anything or testing

Hey man! I'd love help if you feel like it! There's a ton to do in userspace, much of it quite accessible with the tools available now I think, and of course lots to do on the kernel side, depends if you have a preference, userspace is probably an easier start for a first contribution.

I'll try to make a short list of what comes to mind, but really if you spot something that you think should be improved/fixed you're more than welcome to have a go at it! I'll be happy to help you get started in any case :)

• a graphical launcher for apps
• there's this bug in the terminal, where it crashes if a command is launched when the prompt had already reached the bottom of the window, it doesn't seem to happen everytime
• expanding the ui library: have a textfield widget, a label widget too probably, usability things like a background color property for stuff, a 'close' button in the titlebar
  • rewriting the terminal with the ui library?
• improving (really, writing) the file viewer files.c, allowing some operations on files, folder creation... probably requires some new ui components
• there's a calculator app proof of concept I used to test the ui lib's vbox and hboxes, but it's a dummy, because it turns out I'm bad at writing parsers; I'd like to see it working some day
• really any new userspace app, bonus points if it uses a kernel feature not yet showcased by another app ^^
• porting a rock solid sprintf implementation, like the one from stb_printf.h, that'd great

Kernel side stuff:

• a mouse cursor that's not just nine grey pixels arranged in a square!
• allow resizing windows in the wm: would probably crash due to memory fragmentation right now, but it could technically be done
• that's all I think of right now, I'm in the middle of writing my version of a virtual filesystem so it's sort of taking all of my thinking space there

I should probably put this in different github issues or something, this got longer than expected. Anyway, happy to have your interest!

Ok, I will be happy to get started!

@29jm since you took the time to write up a wish list, maybe copy it over into the wiki?

@the-grue Good call, I'll do something like that !
