I'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 developm…

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 :)

Well that's fair. Glad you found worthwhile performance and other improvements. Kudos on managing to learn Svelte and get this cranked out so fast!

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

I went to https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ , opened up Edge, then went to https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ , opened up Edge, then went to https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ , opened up Edge, .... Silly but entertaining in a slow morning. : )

you won't believe how many times people have told me that & have become fascinated by this thing alone :)

The START MENU? TEN YEARS? My friend, how about simple file management? They've been at that for DECADES and still can't get it right? "Oh, you dragged something over the top of a network drive in Explorer, let me waste the next 3-5 minutes trying to connect to that drive for you". Or how about this: "Oh you plugged in a USB drive that was setup as a live CD? Let me crash for a second and mash your MBR to bits". How…

I switched to Linux entirely (but may reinstall windows as a second OS for some games if I get the wild hair...), and while it can still be buggy at times here and there (Arch Linux, so go figure), it's usually my fault, and it can be remedied most of the time. Still a thousand times better of an experience than Windows.

i threw in the towel as well after debloating the same win10 install for the millionth time.

switched to Arch (EndeavourOS KDE/Plasma) and life is sane again; enjoyable, even!

i do miss Affinity products, tho, which cannot even run in Wine/Proton :(

Have you tried opening https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ inside the edge browser inside the app? I think the recursion taps out after the second layer.

actually there is a way around just add a ?1 or any thing random after the domain like https://win11-svelte.vercel.app?1

I'm going to sound annoying here, but have you actually used Svelte? The developer experience is night and day with Svelte(kit) and React/Vue. I can have a workable prototype within a couple of hours with Sveltekit, where it would've taken me a couple of days in React/Next.js. Svelte feels like an answer to that unending churn of web frameworks because so much of it is just plain HTML and JS, compared to learning the newest React flavour every fortnight.

Further, I don't think it's fair to say that Svelte isn't established, it's in production on some pretty big sites and has been stable for years now.

Looks 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

On the other hand the file explorer doesn't work, so that's like a 10/10 in realism.

As soon as the HN fun police see this they're going to kill it, though.

sadly :(. they have a hate-on for emoji for some reason. as does some of HN. time to upgrade from the 80s, folks ;)

I think it's the same reason that excessive bold or ALL CAPS are not enjoyed by most: it's a distraction. Instead of focusing on the content of what is being written. I think icons, just like bold or CAPS, can be used in situations where it adds value (formatting pun intended) - but often times it's poorly used and distracting.
