Apps

Explore eight complete JSVision applications, running directly in your browser. Each one focuses on a different part of the framework: application chrome, reactive controls, editing, window management, custom views, animation, themes, or truecolor rendering.

New to JSVision? Start with Hello, JSVision. Want the full experience? Jump straight to the Turbo Vision desktop.

Featured: Turbo Vision desktop

The flagship application puts the pieces together: menu and status bars, keyboard focus, movable and resizable windows, and tile and cascade commands. It is the same @jsvision/ui application you would run in a terminal, hosted here in the browser.

Open the complete windowing desktop, then move, resize, tile, cascade, and switch focus between its windows.

Explore the applications

Every card opens a focused page with instructions. Run live launches that application immediately; the terminal code remains lazy until you ask for it.
