The 2/28/26 Brief: First look at IndexOS, HaPPN stack, and more

Feb 28, 2026 — Gibson

Welcome to my first brief!

I'm planning to do a brief of what I make/work on about each day. This is the first brief, covering some cool stuff.

IndexOS

This is a virtual online operating system I'm making, you can see somewhat of a preview above, more progress updates soon. It's 100% themeable, anyone can make a theme for it. That's all I'm saying for now, some cool stuff is coming...

HaPPN

I like to make my website HaPPN. Essentially, multiple frameworks power websites, and many people make acronyms for combinations of these frameworks (called tech stacks). Like LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) or MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node), HaPPN is a tech stack.

Technically, you can make an acronym for any tech stack you'd like.

Pick your tech and watch your stack name form.

HaPPN is the stack I made and use for a lot of my projects. It stands for Hapi, Preact, Postgres, and Node.

I use it for IndexOS and much more.

Anyway,
