Re: Windows 11 in Svelte
#82There is something with this idea: recreate a desktop environment in the browser. I have done it in the late 90s (obviously in PHP), and until today they show up regularly. Once MacOS, once windows, in svelte, in react, whatever. I thought it/I was brilliant then but nowadays I cannot even grasp the idea on why I did that. Never seen any in production for anything, and the only remnants like movable panels of propert…

#83I'm going to sound old here, but why use Svelte? Why yet another one? Why not an established framework like React or Vue? I realize Svelte is compiled but it's oh so close to the others, and its performance is only better in certain corner cases. I ask because of learning exhaustion with the plethora of lookalike languages and frameworks and the constant, unending learning curve associated with all front end development now. I'm not dissing creation or incremental progress. I just sometimes don't think the constant change for new languages and frameworks that come with only minor syntax changes or small differences under the hood is worth the never-ending mandatory learning thrust on developers.

#84> Fun Fact - It has a Lighthouse score of 100 Last time I checked several years ago, `backdrop-filter` is buggy on my laptop. Is it more optimized now?
What browser were you using? Firefox took a while to implement the blur filter for example, but it's supported now.

#85Looks great, but not very realistic. The real Win11 start menu doesn't open immediately, it glitches in various ways for 3-4 times before actually working. Realism 7/10
Must be an america thing with the ads. In asia there’s no ads and it’s instant.

We actually first created it with https://github.com/blueedgetechno/win11React then I was learning Svelte didn't have any new project ideas so redid it with Svelte and found out its just much better DX. Much easy to maintain + much more :)

#88Here's a link to the live version, if you struggled to find it too: https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/

Silly but entertaining in a slow morning. : )
Re: Windows 11 in Svelte
#89Just want to shout out a couple of things. One, it's great to see a hack project here that's been done just for the fun of it. I'm noticing a few comments questioning the "why?" around this. To me at least, it's just a really fun thing to do to hack together something, just because. There doesn't always have to be a rhyme or reason for things like this. Two, it felt like there was a period where sites that would host…
