#2I used this library as part of a major redesign for my personal website (https://hat.fo), and thought that others might get a kick out of it. Fun little components library :-)

What a treat! I enjoyed the little easter eggs.
Where do I find COMMAND.COM?

Nice work! The most surprising part for me was that your websites says you are 20 years old – so I gotta ask, what was the motivation?
I'm 39, born in 1983, so I have serious nostalgia around Windows 95. I was 12 when it came out, my parents bought a Dell when it was new and those years were very formative for me. I assumed that nostalgia would be the only driver to do this... But you weren't born until ~8 years after it was released. I'm genuinely curious (and impressed!)

Nice linux in there, I run vim and edited a file there. Cool.

I thought that was odd, since I’m much younger and they were formative for me too. Then I realized I’m 36 xD
Anyway, I think it’s probably something like how the brutalist architecture was all built before I was born, but it’s still something I can appreciate now.

#8Great stuff! Keep it up and perhaps you could build a whole operating system. You could call it… ReactOS ;)

Can't speak for them, but I'm 25 and have a massive amount of nostalgia for windows 2000, for the weird reason that the first computer I ever got free-reign over was a give-away machine from the IT department from my mother's job at the time. Maybe around 2007-8? I'd have to bet it's something like that for GP too!

#10Another great resource to create web experiences that look like old versions of Windows is 98.css by Jordan Scales: https://jdan.github.io/98.css/
With it, you don't need to use React to get decent results, see?
