I've always loved "desktop websites", but beyond novelty I haven't found a real use case. Maybe something like a thin client or "work anywhere" for a business?
Super cool, although I would not use the Windows logo for the "Start" menu. Definitely change that and call it something else! I'd imagine Microsoft jealously defends that sort of thing.
If you look around the filesystem and find the author’s résumé in the Documents folder, you’ll find out he works for Microsoft. So I’d guess Microsoft doesn’t mind as much.
Appreciated what has being put into this effort. Quite slow on macbook pro with 16gb of ram. This makes me question the usability of React. Wouldn't something like this better written in something more lightweight such as Mithril or SolidJS, Vue, etc?

Synology DSM is a well executed example of a good "desktop website" use case. https://www.synology.com/en-uk/dsm

Edit: I wonder if its some kind of functionality causing the slow down? Perhaps Safari doing something stupid? Have you tried Chrome or another browser?

Would love a open source version of this for custom hardware. Sometimes I don't feel like using a shell for my local servers.
