arOS
my website, reimagined as a little desktop operating system. drag the windows around.
welcome to arOS
this is my whole website pretending to be a tiny desktop operating system, inspired by the lovely zvava.org.
how it works:
- every app is a window, drag it by its title bar.
- the three dots resize it: minimize, maximize, close.
- open apps from the desktop icons, the start menu, or the taskbar.
- try the Terminal, type
help.
all of this is plain HTML, CSS and vanilla JS, copy it into any site.
every post & project, opened right here in the OS (tweets and images included).

This is Ara (pronounced era, like the beginning of an era). I live at the intersection of art, love and beauty. My primary expression of art is technology, and I spend most days playing with AI.
