Fireca Webtop is a simple web desktop for your computer. It consists of the basic apps like a calculator and media player. Fireca helps you organize and optimize your workflow.

Update: the project has been temporarily suspended until summer 2023. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Hey there!

Fireca is a web desktop for your computer. It consists of the basic apps, such as a calculator, media player, news widget, web browser, arcade, etc.

What's the point?

Usually, if you have lots of browser tabs or apps open, your computer will slow down, and it might give you a headache just looking at your screen. With Fireca, you can cut down on the apps and browser tabs you have, lowering the load on your computer (and yourself).

Recent updates

• Contextmenu, Music, Editor, and Weather
• New background and window design
• Animated particles on homepage
• Parallax tilt on homepage navbar and header (mobile)

Upcoming Updates

• Notifications
• Developer page
  • Contribute and link to repo
  • More things (for developers)
• Update quick settings
• Working apps (Includes Launcher and Action Center)
• End of Prism UI will mark the end of the development stage
• WiFi and battery icons

Here's what Fireca looks like right now (as of Sep 15, 2021) - It has been updated but I'm too lazy to change the image:

How to use Fireca

News: Click on the news icon and click the arrows to see different articles from different sources. Click on the image or text to open the article.

Text Editor: Click on the text editor icon and a tutorial will be displayed.

Music: Click on the music icon and use the sliders to change volume and the current time. Click the arrows to change songs (out of 5).

Weather: Click on the weather icon and press C or F to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Click on the location icon to find the weather for your current location, or type in the search bar to find a location.

Calculator: Click on the calculator icon and type in the empty space above the digit pad or click on the digits to enter a value.

Advanced features: You can type Math.PI for π, so 4+Math.PI would be approximately 7.14159. Others are Math.E (Euler's number), Math.SQRT2 (square root of 2), Math.SQRT1_2 (square root of 1/2), Math.LN2 (natural logarithm of 2), Math.LN2 (natural logarithm of 2), Math.LN10 (natural logarithm of 10), Math.LOG2E (base 2 logarithm of E), and Math.LOG10E (base 10 logarithm of E). Refer to the table below for more methods:
