How io-web-os/web-os works
The repository is a minimal Web-OS scaffold, not a functioning desktop environment: the client renders Create React App’s starter screen, and the server exposes only a welcome response and a not-found fallback. The principal visible workflow is browser loading the React entry point and rendering the starter component; separately, the server initializes MongoDB and mounts its routes. The README gives no further product capabilities, and no domain features are evident in the sampled source. The database loader references a models directory that is absent from the supplied tree.
Main entry points: routes/index.js Welcome routes · app.js Express setup · src/index.js React entry · db.js Mongo connector
