Hotdog OS is a custom interactive web based operating system environment that runs entirely in the browser. It features draggable windows, app icons, dynamic modules, and a desktop style layout that lets users interact with multiple tools at once. The system includes custom UI components, unlockable features, structured session handling, and optional monetization logic that integrates with standard payment providers. Built with a modular approach, new apps and features can be added easily without breaking the core environment.

Hotdog OS was designed to replicate the feel of a lightweight operating system while keeping everything inside a web browser. The interface includes draggable windows, launchers, popups, notifications, app cards, and interactive panels. Each module behaves like a standalone mini app that can be opened, moved, minimized, or closed.
The system supports code redemption, unlockable features, premium content, and a session structure that remembers user progress. The backend hooks allow features like premium packs, upgrades, and expansions to be delivered without friction.
The architecture is modular, so new apps can be added quickly by following a consistent UI and component structure. This makes the system flexible for future tools, games, or utilities.
Although Hotdog OS has a playful theme, it demonstrates strong technical capability including advanced UI state handling, event management, dynamic rendering, interaction design, and frontend engineering.
