Welcome to the frontend for ArcOS! This repository is a rewrite of the original ArcOS project which can be found [here](https://github.com/IzK-ArcOS/ArcOS-Environment) (archived). This project is written in Svelte and Typescript, making it extremely performant and easy to maintain. More information about this project contained [here](https://github.com/IzK-ArcOS?view_as=public).

## Getting Started

18-
To use ArcOS, you can use the current Electron implementation found in the [releases tab](https://github.com/IzK-ArcOS/ArcOS-Frontend/releases/). You can also manually compile the desktop application with **ArcOS Electron Compiler**. All information about building the Electron application is contained on [ArcOS Electron Compiler GitHub repository](https://github.com/IzK-ArcOS/ArcOS-Electron-Compiler) (currently in beta).
20+
ArcOS is the advanced Svelte-based Operating System Environment in your browser. With ArcOS we aim to create the best possible experience we can within the confines of your browser. ArcOS consists of:
21+
- 📊 Advanced process and service management,
22+
- ☁ Readymade cloud storage to access your account from anywhere using ArcOS' [ArcAPI](https://github.com/IzK-ArcOS/ArcOS-API-Rewritten) (WIP),
23+
- 🔐 A secure user system consisting of hashed and salted passwords,
24+
- 🗄 Filesystem integration to store, create and upload files,
25+
- 📧 A built-in messaging system to talk to other ArcOS users on the same server,
26+
- ✨ Endless customization options to really adjust ArcOS to your personal taste,
27+
- 🐣 Beginner-friendly User Interface without the need of manuals,
28+
- 🧾 Inclusive Help & Support center to read up on things you don't immediately understand,
29+
- ⚠ Powerful error reporting and crash logs so that we can fix anything that's wrong as fast as possible

You can also use the web frontend, found [here](https://web.izk-arcos.nl/).
31+
## 🛠 Getting started
32+
The easiest way to use ArcOS is to open it on [the web frontend](https://web.izk-arcos.nl/), which is always updated to match the current version of ArcOS. If you prefer a download instead, you can find the latest updates on [the releases page](https://github.com/IzK-ArcOS/ArcOS-Frontend/releases). This Desktop App is powered by Electron, and it might perform better than the browser version, depending on the browser and device.

If you want to compile the ArcOS frontend from the source, you may do so by following the steps of the [Getting Started](docs/Getting%20Started.md) page in the repository.
34+

## Disclaimers
54+
- ArcOS cannot be used as a primary operating system. An attempt to do so is discouraged.
55+
- This is not an actual operating system. It is an environment that runs on top of your already existing OS, built using web technologies. It isn't possible to install already existing applications from third parties. This functionality may be implemented in the distant future.
56+
- All assets in ArcOS, including those created by the team, belong to their respective owners. Reuse without credit is not permitted.
57+
- The ArcOS team is not responsible for loss of data when using ArcAPI. Do not store sensitive info on the File System. ArcAPI passwords are hashed and salted.
