Project Brief

Name

Próx OS

Summary

Próx OS is a cloud-first personal intelligence OS for developers, creators, and AI-native workers.

It starts as a browser-native personal operating environment and grows toward a shell for GitHub, RSS, cloud services, AI context, web apps, future local data sources, automation, dashboards, and public Spaces.

Core Thesis

A personal website should not only present identity. It should become a personal operating environment.

The project aims to combine:

• Personal publishing
• Cloud-first source integration
• Personal data ownership
• Structured knowledge
• Browser-native desktop UI
• Local and cloud apps
• AI context and permission boundaries
• Public Spaces, templates, clone, and remix
• AI-readable architecture
• Future MCP exposure

App Route Groups

The OS Shell classifies app surfaces by route group:

• /app/* for general personal work, data, and creative apps.
• /app-user/* for profile, visitor, notifications, shortcuts, display, and other user-specific surfaces.
• /app-shell/* as the target group for shell-coupled apps that remain inside apps/os-shell.
• /app-dev/* for developer-only local tools, docs, project graphs, and API explorers.
• /app-iframe/* for external and standalone iframe apps.
• /app-os/* for reusable OS, official team, community, and platform operations apps.

These groups should stay registry-driven so desktop folders, route handling, and developer metrics can expand together.

First Milestone

Create a working cloud-first OS Shell and App Store with:

• Top bar
• Dock
• Desktop surface
• Window frame
• Local mock apps
• App manifest contract
• Mature App Store / App Incubator / Space Gallery
• Featured app direction for Awesome GitHub Radar, RSS Knowledge Inbox, GitHub Workspace, and AI Context Builder
• Initial data model documentation

Non-goals for the First Milestone

• No full auth system
• No production database migration
• No payment system
• No community app store
• No full MCP server
• No complex object storage workflow
• No full cloud drive, Notion replacement, or local archive suite before cloud-first workflows are proven

Guiding Principle

Cloud-first personal intelligence OS: GitHub-first, RSS-first, AI Context-first.
