A browser based desktop environment including several default apps. Built with web technologies.
Yes, lamda without a "b"-
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)
-
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.
- 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.
- Frontend: Elm
- Backend: Node + Express (Potential rewrite in Haskell or Rust in the future)
