I built a tiny browser desktop and filled it with weird apps
Chaos Lab started as me experimenting with GUI ideas. I wanted one window, an app switcher, desktop style controls, optional sound, and a group of small interactions that all feel different without sending the visitor to another page.
Choose an app
Six small GUI experiments
The whole card is clickable. Every app opens inside the same desktop style window.
Desktop style shell
I wanted to see how a title bar, app switcher, window controls, and separate tools could feel inside one browser interface.
Built around state
Each app keeps track of its own clicks, toggles, messages, counters, sliders, and visual feedback.
Made for touch
I kept the main controls large and visible. Nothing important depends on hovering with a mouse.
Sound is optional
Every app starts quiet and has its own sound control. The visitor decides whether the interface makes noise.
Why I made this
I wanted to practice GUI behavior without building another normal dashboard
This page gave me a place to experiment with window layouts, app switching, touch targets, sound controls, live state, feedback, and intentionally strange interaction design. It is playful, but the same frontend ideas carry over to real tools and desktop style web applications.
