Positioned at the top or bottom of an interface, it organizes elements like menu options, navigation buttons, titles, or search fields. EXAMPLE [?]+1Example I [?]+2Example II [?]+3Example III VACCORDION Accordion components are vertically stacked, expandable panels designed for efficient use of space in monospace-driven layouts, often inspired by classic terminal interfaces. Each panel consists of a header and its corresponding content area, allowing users to toggle between a condensed summary and detailed information. EXAMPLE >ACCORDION EXAMPLE VACTION BUTTONS Action buttons let users perform actions. They are used for task-based options within a workflow and work well in interfaces where buttons need to stay understated. EXAMPLE [?]+SSave Loading VACTION LIST Action lists are a vertical list of interactive actions or options. It displays items in a single-column format with space for icons, descriptions, side information, and other visuals. The monospace font ensures clarity and consistency.

POST Christopher Alexander The Nature of Order Book 1: The Phenomenon of Life A World Picture CHRISTOPHER ALEXANDER 1-1-2002 I believe that we have in us a residue of a world-picture which is essentially mechanical in nature - what we might call the mechanist-rationalist world picture ... Like an infection it has entered us, it affects our actions, it affects our morals, it affects our sense of beauty. This is a picture of a world made of atoms which whirl around in a mechanical fashion: a world in which it is assumed that all the universe is a blind mechanism, whirling on its way, under the impact of the 'laws of nature.' These laws are, essentially, those mechanistic laws which explain how the atoms and the structures made of these atoms proceed on their way ... Even though we would admit that the precise laws and mechanisms may not be known, we assume that underlying our ignorance there are some laws, not quite formulated, which do account for how things work ... I have reached the conclusion that the strange fantasies, the private in-house language about architecture, the strange nature of 20th-century gallery art, deconstructionism, postmodernism, modernism and a host of other 'isms', all of which affect our physical world hugely, are created because of an entanglement between the nature of architecture, the practice of architecture, and the mechanical conception of the universe. More precisely, I believe that the mistake and confusion in our picture of the the art of building has come from our conception of what matter is. The present conception of matter, and the opposing one which I shall try to put in its place, may both be summarized by the nature of order. Our idea of matter is essentially governed by our idea of order ... So it is the nature of order which lies at the root of the problem of architecture ... When we understand what order is, I believe we shall better understand what matter is and then what the universe itself is. VBREADCRUMBS Breadcrumbs display the current page or context within a website or application. They show the hierarchy and navigation path, helping users understand their location. Breadcrumbs allow users to navigate back through levels or categories and are especially useful for deeply nested pages. EXAMPLE Philosophical Taoism Ursula K.

EXAMPLE Primary Button Secondary Button Disabled Button VBUTTON GROUP Button groups organize related actions within a shared container, offering quick access to frequently used tasks. These buttons are visually connected to emphasize their relationship and can also indicate a selected state. EXAMPLE 16 PX 32 PX 42 PX 16 PX 32 PX 42 PX VCARDS Cards are MS-DOS-inspired sections designed to group related content and actions. They can serve as standalone features or function as part of a larger application. Each card clearly outlines key information, making it easier for users to identify and interact with important details. Left-A Right-B C To seek the timeless way we must first know the quality without a name. There is a central quality which is the root criterion of life and spirit in a man, a town, a building, or a wilderness. This quality is objective and precise, but it cannot be named. Left-A Right-B C The structure of life I have described in buildings - the structure which I believe to be objective - is deeply and inextricably connected with the human person, and with the innermost nature of human feeling. Left-A Right-B C We are searching for some kind of harmony between two intangibles: a form which we have not yet designed and a context which we cannot properly describe. VCHECKBOX Checkboxes represent a binary choice, letting users toggle options on or off. Each Checkbox operates independently, allowing multiple selections without affecting others. Checkboxes are ideal for forms, surveys, or scenarios requiring multi-selection, providing a simple way for user input. EXAMPLE [ ] The past, though a tutor, is not a thing to lament, but a wellspring of wisdom from which we draw without regret. [ ] A measure of obsession doth sharpen the will, for the long path, though beset with trials, leadeth ever toward glories. [ ] Kindness and gratitude must light our way in all dealings, regardless of circumstance. [ ] Stand firm beside thy fellow for shared triumph is the sweetest of all. [ ] Let us strive that design be not a mere ornament to the world, but a worthy service to humanity itself. [ ] Artifacts built with care do grant webmasters the power to shape their own fates, and to serve those thou dost cherish is an honor beyond measure. [ ] Intensity, as fire contained, burneth most brightly when turned toward aims; thus, let us spurn the call of mediocrity and cast aside the seductions of decay. [ ] Mistakes are not curses, but treasures wrapped in adversity, offered to those wise enough to seize their lessons. [ ] Expect naught, but receive all with gratitude, and find a place of trust wherein thou mayest dwell for a time. [ ] From thy master learn what thou canst, and from all others likewise, for wisdom hath many guises. [ ] To follow with discipline is good; to follow oneself with discipline is better. [ ] Work with fervor and take joy where it may be found, for the making is as sweet as the outcome. [ ] Be mindful that there are ever more ways than two, and seek not merely to follow the trade but to alter its course, bringing value wherever it is given thee to do so. [ ] Whether rewarded or not, let us ply our craft for the love of it, for therein lies mastery. [ ] Assume nothing, and let no person escape thy regard. [ ] A fine process doth honor the task, but let the result be no less fine. [ ] Keep faith with those who make promises, and shouldst thou be called to push others, push thyself the harder. [ ] Thy health is thy treasure, and building a company shall be no graceful dance, but a contest of strife. [ ] Take always the first step, for even in failure doth wisdom grow. [ ] Seek ever to broaden thy knowledge of art, software, music, letters, and all things ancient and new, for these are the treasures of the mind. [ ] Thy fate lieth ever in thine own hands, and the soul readeth not only the landscape, but the heart that beats beneath it. [ ] Let thy voice be thine own, unborrowed and unbowed, and make it heard without fear. [ ] Rejoice in the victories of thy fellow webmasters, for in bearing witness to their triumphs is joy in its truest form. [ ] Grow accustomed to the weight of pressure, for in such a forge is the finest steel tempered. [ ] Thus do we press onward--undaunted and unyielding--in pursuit of a better physical and digital world. VCHESSBOARD A minimal 8x8 component that maps alphanumeric piece identifiers to Unicode chess symbols, uses alternating squares, and includes labeled rows and columns. Simply provide an 8x8 array of piece codes or empty strings for blank squares. Perfect for rendering classic chess scenes. DEFAULT A B C D E F G H 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 VBAD BISHOP The "Bad Bishop" describes a bishop locked on squares of its own color by its own pawns, stifling its mobility. In this example from chess.com, Black's bishop on B-7 is hindered by its own pawns and cannot be freed easily. Coincidentally, Bad Bishop is also one of the best Seattle bars (704 1st Ave), it is known for its creative cocktails and lively atmosphere. BAD BISHOP A B C D E F G H 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 VCHECKMATE In chess, the en passant rule allows a pawn to capture an enemy pawn that has just made a two-square advance, moving to the square it bypassed as if it had only advanced one square. This unique rule prevents a pawn from escaping capture by skipping past an opponent. In the scenario below, White uses en passant to deliver checkmate, leaving Black's king with no legal moves.

ENTROPY Any sense of order or stability inevitably crumbles. The entire universe follows a dismal trek toward a dull state of ultimate turmoil. To keep track of this cosmic decay, physicists employ a concept called entropy. Entropy is a measure of disorderliness, and the declaration that entropy is always on the rise -- known as the second law of thermodynamics -- is among nature's most inescapable commandments. I have long felt haunted by the universal tendency toward messiness. Order is fragile. It takes months of careful planning and artistry to craft a vase but an instant to demolish it with a soccer ball. We spend our lives struggling to make sense of a chaotic and unpredictable world, where any attempt to establish control seems only to backfire. The second law demands that machines can never be perfectly efficient, which implies that whenever structure arises in the universe, it ultimately serves only to dissipate energy further -- be it a star that eventually explodes or a living organism converting food into heat. We are, despite our best intentions, agents of entropy. "Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics," wrote Seth Lloyd, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There's no sidestepping this directive. The growth of entropy is deeply entwined with our most basic experiences, accounting for why time runs forward and why the world appears deterministic rather than quantum mechanically uncertain. -- Zack Savitzky VDRAWER A drawer is a panel that slides in from the screen edge, providing space for secondary content, actions, or navigation links while keeping the main content uninterrupted. INTRO(1) INTRODUCTION Section 1 of the manual describes user commands and tools, for example, file manipulation tools, shells, compilers, web browsers, file and image viewers and editors, and so on. All commands yield a status value on termination. This value can be tested (e.g., in most shells the variable $? contains the status of the last executed command) to see whether the command completed successfully. A zero exit status is conventionally used to indicate success, and a nonzero status means that the command was unsuccessful. (Details of the exit status can be found in wait(2).) A nonzero exit status can be in the range 1 to 255, and some commands use different nonzero status values to indicate the reason why the command failed.

They are used to capture inputs, display information, or focus on specific tasks without leaving the current context, often accompanied by an overlay to maintain focus EXAMPLE Render Canvas Snake Render Canvas Platformer Render Modal Matrix Modes Render Modal Checkmate Render Alert Modal A Render Alert Modal B Render Alert Modal C Render Create Account Modal Error A Error B Error C VNAVIGATION BAR Navigation bars enable smooth transitions between top-level destinations in an app, using icons and text labels to represent sections. EXAMPLE NAVIGATION ITEM A NAVIGATION ITEM B SIGN IN VKENYA HARA, WHITE Colors do not exist separately and independently within nature; they are constantly shifting in response to subtle gradations of light. It is language that, magnificently, gives them clear shape. VKENYA HARA, WHITE White can be attained by blending all the colors of the spectrum together, or through the substraction of ink and all other pigments. In short, it is "all colors" and "no color" at the same time. VKENYA HARA, WHITE It is easy to think that beauty resides in the realm of creativity. Yet beauty hardly "appears" from nowhere. Recently, I have come to believe that we "discover" it through the cleaning and polishing we do to preserve things as they are. [...] The beauty of a temple garden rests not in the splendid features that were created by a talented designer; rather, its beauty is uncovered through the continual process of cleaning. VKENYA HARA, DESIGNING DESIGN I used to believe that design was information architecture, and also that this architecture was built in the brain of an information recipient. Recently I've come to think that, although the materials of that architecture's construction are indeed the information brought from the outside by the sensory organs, at the same time some very important building blocks are also the recollected experiences, the memories, awakened by these external stimuli. People imagine the world and interpret it when outside stimuli awaken the mountain of their internally stored memories. VKENYA HARA, DESIGNING DESIGN The human brain likes anything that entails a great amount of information. Its excessive capacity waits eagerly to perceive the world by completely exhausting its great receptive powers. That potential power, though, remains today in a state of extreme constriction and is a source of the information stress we're all under. VPOPOVER Popovers are transient views that appear above content when users interact with an associated element, offering relevant information, details, or interactive content like actions or form elements. EXAMPLE TOP LEFT TOP RIGHT BOTTOM LEFT BOTTOM RIGHT VPROGRESS BARS Progress bars are visual indicators that display the completion status of tasks or processes. Ours allow for custom fill characters. EXAMPLE 0% # 25% #### 50% ###### 75% (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) 75% ######### 100% ########### VRADIO BUTTONS Radio buttons are visual controls that let users make a single selection from a predefined set of mutually exclusive options. Represented as small circles that fill when selected, they are used when all options need to be visible and only one can be chosen. METHOD You're at the very beginning of designing your operating system. How do you choose to start? (*) Custom Linux Kernel Derivative: Start with a minimal Linux kernel (e.g., a stripped-down mainline LTS release), integrate essential device drivers, and build out a tailored init process. ( ) AOSP Base: Leverage an AOSP-derived HAL and system services, using BSP integration and existing frameworks as a foundation for rapid device bring-up. ( ) Microkernel Approach: Implement a microkernel (e.g., seL4) to strictly separate core services, relying on IPC mechanisms and user-space servers to manage drivers, file systems, and device I/O. INTERFACE How will you implement your interface layer? (*) Native GUI Shell + EGL/Wayland: Use a lean, native toolkit with hardware-accelerated rendering (EGL), compositing via Wayland, and minimal shell protocols. ( ) Adapted Android Framework: Employ the Android UI stack (SurfaceFlinger, View hierarchy), integrating Material Components as baseline UI elements, and build custom system apps via Jetpack. ( ) Custom-Compositor + Custom Widgets: Implement a dedicated compositor (e.g., custom Weston derivative) and write your own widget toolkit in C++/Rust, managing input events and layouts directly. SECURITY How will you handle security and lifecycle management? (*) Signed Kernel/OS Updates + Verified Boot: Use a secure bootloader chain (e.g., U-Boot with verified boot), sign OTA payloads, and apply delta updates with rollback support. ( ) TEE Integration + SELinux Policies: Embed a Trusted Execution Environment (e.g., ARM TrustZone), enforce SELinux policies system-wide, and apply monthly patch-level updates from upstream code sources. ( ) Containerized Services + Granular Permissions: Run system services and third-party apps in containerized sandboxes (LXC, cgroups, seccomp), enforce capability-based permissions, and manage rolling updates at a container or microservice level. VSELECT Select components are user interface controls that let users choose an option from a dropdown list. They display a list of options and collapse to show the selected choice, making them ideal for scenarios with limited space and multiple options. EXAMPLE What is your favorite dinosaur? VT-Rex What is your favorite deep sea animal? VGiant Squid VSIDEBAR LAYOUT Sidebars are navigational panels that provide access to secondary actions or additional information. They can be static, collapsible, or resizable, adapting to design needs and screen sizes. QUOTES "I want each of you to go through life making the most of your individuality. Like it or not, you will go out into the real world and be treated as an adult. Adults show each other no mercy. If you fail to cultivate within yourself a fight-back mentality, society will end up controlling you." "Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt." "Never give up. Discover your own options, never count on others and have faith in the paths you discover for yourself. If someone else approves of this new way of life, all the better." "I do think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one's own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money." VSLIDER Sliders are interactive UI elements that let users select a single value or range from a continuum. Designed as a horizontal track with a draggable handle, they are ideal for adjusting settings like volume, brightness, or color saturation. EXAMPLE 0000 [0 ] 00000 [0 ] 00000 [0 ] 00000 [0 ] 000000 [0 ] VTABLE A simple, declarative table component designed to streamline the creation of tables in JSX. It provides greater control over the structure and layout while evoking the aesthetics of old terminal interfaces (like MS-DOS). STARTUPS COMPANY DESCRIPTION [?] Bluesky Building a social internet.
