A Developer Builds a Desktop Environment and a 50-App Suite with AI
Understand the story
One developer shared their experience building an entire desktop and mobile app ecosystem from scratch: starting from the X server, they built their own window manager, terminal, shell, and info bar, then completed an app suite called Fe2O3 with around 50 apps—including the text editor scribe, the messaging hub kastrup, the browser gaze, the file manager pointer, the RPN programmable calculator rpnx, and funkey, a game engine that can run Doom. The project drew attention in discussions around ClaudeCode, Codex, and VibeCoding, after which the developer asked: having built everything from the X server all the way to an Android suite, what else is there left to build?
