It was very clean and impressive work, but the longer I watched the more I realized how disconnected I feel from all these weird "apps".

- Music player without connection to the real world (spotify/youtube)

- Notes app without connection to the real world (the file system/other platforms)

- Messages app without connection to the real world (sms / messenger / whatsapp / etc etc)

- Photos app without connection to the real world (some kind of cloud synced file system)

- Notifications ... I really still have not found a use for them, except for IM on my phone

Stop bundling these things :( It looks nice, but the real world use is so limited. Focus on really enabling other stuff instead

I'm not sure if you realize, but this isn't intended as a "real OS" for practical use.

It's intended for use inside of computer games; whether for simulation of using computers inside the game-world, or for games where the framing device is a (simulated) desktop interface.

In which case, the "limited real world use" is hardly a flaw!

1. This is more of a design study that anything else, having unity provide your os shell is ridiculous. 2. You shouldn't consider your own needs the standard. I for myself would be very happy with - A music player that doesn't integrate with user hostile, walled garden drm garbage - Ditto for messaging - Just using your own file sync for documents and pictures

Also, well, notes without filesystem access feels really useless, we can agree on that one.
