# λ Lamda
A browser based desktop environment including several default apps.
Built with web technologies.
## Features
- **Batteries included** -
Contains apps and services for most common computing needs.
- **File based** -
All apps are required to only store and retrieve data as (plaintext) files
in their assigned storage directory.
- **Easily installable** -
Download the binary, execute it, open your browser. 🚀
- **Effective** -
Made for power users.
No useless whitespace, no animations, and no other pointless baggage.
- **Innovative** -
Rethinks several UI and UX patterns which we've been taking for granted.
(E.g. how a calendar is supposed to look like)
### Anti-Features
- **Window managment** -
Already handled by your browser
- **Multi user features** -
Does not include any rights management, comment, or collaboration features.
However, can still be used by several people simultaneously
if they want to work on a shared set of data.
## Apps
- Files (is default landing page)
- Includes a basic text editor and file previewer
- Contacts
- Events (aka Calendar)
- Photos
- Books
- Movies
- Songs (aka Music)
- Tasks
- Projects
- Sheetmusic
- Things
- News (aka Feed Reader)
Planned:
- Terminal (running a shell for the underlaying computer / server)
- Mails
- Notes
Each app can also be deployed in a standalone mode.
In this mode the app is only wrapped with a minimal version of Lamda
and the GUI shows only the app itself.
This can be used if only one particular app
and not the whole Lamda Suite is needed.
## Technology
- Frontend: Elm
- Backend: Node + Express
(Potential rewrite in Haskell or Rust in the future)
**Checkout the [whitepaper](./whitepaper.md) for a more in depth explanation**
## Usage
### Helpers
Use plop scripts to easily generate new files:
```sh
npm run generate -- thing -- \
--date 2021-10-11 \
--slug bicycle \
--title "Hyper Bike" \
--articleNumber 1234
```
## Ideas
- [ ] Browse files based on tags and not hierarchies
- [ ] List of bookmarklets which can be drag & dropped into new browsers
- [ ] Config to specify a list of directories each app is allowed to access
