Sir Blob's Desktop
My portfolio website, built as a web version of my Arch Linux desktop.
The site recreates my blomarchy setup in the browser: a Hyprland-style tiling desktop, the Quickshell bar, and kitty terminals you can type into.
Features
- Tiling windows - every page opens as a window that tiles like Hyprland's dwindle layout, with gradient borders.
- Quickshell bar - app launcher, workspaces, clock, music player, live Discord status, battery details and a theme picker.
- Music player - plays a random song from a YouTube playlist, muted until you unmute it, with seek, skip, repeat, volume and a playlist view.
- Image viewer - click any image to open it in an imv window with zoom, pan, rotate, pinch and swipe.
- Kitty terminals - a real command line with history and tab completion. Try
fastfetch,whoamiorcowsay. - Desktop icons - grouped into pages, terminal scripts and socials (GitHub, LinkedIn, Devpost, Discord).
- 13 themes - Cerberus, Flats, Tokyo Night, Night Cat, Catppuccin, Arch Linux, Gruvbox, Nord, Kanagawa, Wintry, Rose, Catppuccin Latte and Rose Pine Dawn, each with its own wallpaper.
- Portfolio - about, portfolio, projects (open source, packages, hackathons, research, organizations), blog with RSS and links with QR codes.
- Live data - GitHub stars and forks, npm downloads, AniList anime stats and OMDb posters for shows and movies.
- Mobile friendly - on small screens windows go fullscreen with tabs to switch between them.

Running
bun install
bun run dev
bun run start
The music player needs ffmpeg installed on the server.
Docker
docker compose up -d --build
The image builds the site with Bun and includes ffmpeg. It reads .env and serves on port 3000; set HOST_PORT to publish it on a different port.
Configuration
Copy .env.example to .env and fill in what you need. Every value is optional.

Content
Site content lives in content/.
Content CLI
A small Python tool (standard library only) edits the playlist, shows and movies without touching the JSON by hand.

bun run content music add https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
bun run content music remove VIDEO_ID

Titles are looked up on OMDb with OMDB_API_KEY from .env; pass --name to skip the lookup. Run bun run content --help for every option.
