I built an operating system

I built an operating system for my marriage.

MARRIAGE.OS is a fictional OS that treats a relationship the way software treats a system. It has a boot sequence, a live dashboard (trust level, comms uptime, a resentment queue, partner battery at 31%), a screen of the conditionals we actually run on (IF thermostat.touched_by(partner_a) THEN war()), an error log of every fight we've ever had (all resolved, eventually), and a shutdown screen that dims the lights and says goodnight.

The whole thing is a CRT terminal aesthetic: amber phosphor on near-black, scanlines, JetBrains Mono, a design system I kept consistent across all six screens.

How Wonder made it possible: I designed every screen with Wonder Chat, generating layouts from prompts and refining them on the canvas. The living glow behind the boot and shutdown screens is a Wonder shader, tuned by hand. Then I used Wonder's MCP to pull the design straight into code and ship it to a live URL. Canvas to code to deployed, no rebuild.

It's live here: marriage-os.gblackman.workers.dev
