I Finally Stopped Designing and Started Building MaxOS

Short summary

A student developer shares progress on MaxOS, an AI-first desktop workspace, after shifting from over-designing to actually building. They used Google Stitch for UI exploration but rebuilt everything in React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS with reusable components. The project currently has a basic design system running on mock data, with local filesystem access as the next milestone.

  • •MaxOS is an AI-first workspace concept that puts AI at the center of the desktop experience
  • •Author shifted from over-designing to building, using Google Stitch for mockups then rebuilding in React/TypeScript
  • •Project is early-stage with a design system and mock data; next milestone is local filesystem access

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
