#132Just tried this on Vercel…the funny thing is it’s actually more responsive than real Win11..
I mean, to be fair, it’s doing a lot less…

#133Why is a good chunk of the Readme dedicated to pleading for a repo star? Not the first time seeing a project doing that. This can't be just for vanity reasons. Anyone knows?
Makes your CV look good.
Just went to the project creators LinkedIn and this project is his work Experience section(LinkedIn has separate project section for these) and it explicitly mentions the number of stars.

#134There 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…
Synology's Disk Station Manager recreates a desktop environment. https://demo.synology.com/en-us/dsm
Synology's web desktop is really slick. Is there an open source web desktop environment that comes close? I've seen os.js etc but that looks a bit dated now. The React ones for Win11 are a bit immature still.

#135You know, if you are looking for a job, that's what I love to see. Curiosity, passion, and just pure software craftsmanship. Fuck CVs, gimme this.
Sure I agree that this is far more accurate of what one can do but you can't expect that from people working, managing their day to day life, family and so on. It's one thing we don't expect in other industries in that way
Re: Windows 11 in Svelte
#136Looks 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
I still can't believe how buggy the start menu has been since Windows 8, released TEN YEARS ago.
It was pretty buggy when it came out with the release version of win95 and it didn't even have the ability to automatically search the web for things I wasn't looking for. We're just in a bad start menu decade at the moment.
Surely adding a shortcuts on the desktop obliviates the need to use it. All of my programs add one automatically so it's super easy.

#137I'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…
Don't worry! No one's forcing you to try a new framework, it's not mandatory. Part of maturing as a developer is working out what you want to spend your time doing or learning and what you're happy ignoring or leaving to others.

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 :)
Nice! Really interesting to see the difference between the two implementations, comparing the frameworks in something more than the usual toy examples is instructive. FWIW I agree that the Svelte version looks much easier to maintain!

#139Earlier quoted context omitted.
I like this part: > We have to hope that enough of the users whose systems are crashing realize that it’s due to the “shell enhancement” program (rather than blaming Windows itself, which is the more likely case) I would 100% blame Windows (or Microsoft, rather) for making the shell so awful that people have to resort to these tactics. You can't cripple the steering wheel on a car and then blame people for not findin…
This part too: >Unfortunately, these patchers also cause Windows customer satisfaction numbers to plunge every time an update goes out, I've refused/blocked updates for as long as I remember since long before Explorer patchers were a thing, because updates break my shit and waste my fucking time. I've had more of my time and nerves wasted by updates breaking my shit than "all the bad guys trying to take advantage of…

Since I installed PowerToys[0] and activated Run, I barely use the taskbar to start any program. It works like alt+f2 on Ubuntu, which is the experience I find most useful. [0] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/
Powertoys feels like one arm of Microsoft to fix windows’ shortcomings due to the other arm via an independent app rather than fixing the actual component because doing so is too fraught with politics and incentives.
So Microsoft does know how to fix the problems with Windows, but simply chooses not to because of internal politics? Because I keep wondering how such a big, well-established company full of smart people can create such a piece of crap as their flagship product.
