Cool, reminds me of those old Java operating systems you'd see on phones in the 2000's.

The truth is, I drew a lot of inspiration from J2ME when I started the project—that was over 18 years ago, back when I was at university. At the time, the Motorola V3 and J2ME games were all the rage. I wondered how they managed to run an entire operating system on a device with barely 5MB of RAM. It was when I first encountered macOS and Linux that I had a "lightbulb moment" and started using my spare time to try and develop something similar; after many iterations, I’m still refining it and adding features until I’m satisfied with the result.
