It would certainly be a challenge given the display limitations of TempleOS the last the I checked it out. I believe the display was limited to Not that you cant create beautifully usable interfaces within such restrictive limitations, but minus all the spark and sizzle of modern UIs I think it would be a challenge to first get a UI designer _excited_ about creating a solution for TempleOS
Isn't the challenge what makes it exciting? Like writing haiku? The seventeen sylables force structure. The work of Susan Kare is held in high regard. I guess the pioneering aspect has gone and it'd be more like carving a pixel-art niche.
I concur, 8bit style art is fascinating to me.

#93I'd like to find a use for TempleOS, without access to networking it's tough to come up with ideas. Any suggestions?

#95If I had a several million dollar investment fund and the ability to make discretionary investments of the amount YCombinator makes to the people they fund, I'd fund Terry in a heartbeat and not care a whit whether I ever see a return or not. It's the kind of cheap bet that has the potential to generate enormous upsides, even if they aren't exactly monetary. Terry is a survivor and a maverick. He's done amazing things and is looking for more. He's the kind of guy I want to believe can find a way to greater success, and YCombinator seems like just the sort of place where he can find that.

I don't think people understand that non-profits too need profits, they just don't take all of it home.
Non-profits need revenue, not profit.
But if your operating costs are more than your revenue (thus, no profit), who is keeping that non-profit afloat?

#97TempleOS features HolyC:
"In other operating systems, I hated learning one language for command line scripts and another for programming. With TempleOS, the command line feeds right into the HolyC compiler, line by line, and it places code into memory it MAlloc()s. The compiler is paused at the command line, waiting for input. Naturally, you #include a program to load it into memory and, usually, start it.
During the boot process, many files get compiled before you have access to the command line. (Don't worry, booting takes only a couple of seconds.) All the header declarations for the operating system are compiled and are available for use in your programs without needing to #include them. Everything is truly compiled to native x86_64 machine code, nothing is interpreted and there is no byte code."

A non-profit organization can solicit donations big and small, via grants, memberships, and other common mechanisms.
A non-profit organization can also sell things at a markup. There are alarmingly profitable for-profit tote bag businesses riding the back of non-profits everywhere.
