hanaco Weather is a minimalist social network where users post short, emotional weather thoughts and connect with others experiencing the same weather.
No likes or followers (for now) — just gentle presence.
Built entirely by a solo engineer, including the custom operating system it runs on: OS Yamato.
What is OS Yamato?
OS Yamato is a poetic, ephemerality-first operating system designed to let digital memories bloom and fade, like flowers in the wind.
Features include:
Diaries that bloom like seasonal flowers — and wither if forgotten
Photos and videos that quietly disappear unless viewed again
Chat with ambient seasonal effects and no pressure
A soft, nature-inspired calendar with reusable schedule templates
Wind Messages — time-delayed letters that arrive months later
A 3D globe to see fleeting connections blossom around the world
Each app within OS Yamato reflects a different way of embracing impermanence in the digital world.
