I’m glad that they include pictures of apps that have been made with it. I would appreciate it if there were more sample pictures, but at least there is something included.

Too many GUI and other graphical projects fail to include any images or screenshots, which is poor marketing.

They actually have a site with a playground (linked from the Github page) - https://playground.arwes.dev/

Reason: They don't want to be usable by users (yet).

It's funny how this still feels "futuristic". I'd argue sci-fi, or retro-punk (retro-sci-fi?). The elements of design are those from the past about the future, like 80s sci-fi movie design/tropes that became stuck with the genre, along with beige CRT monitors and large floppy disks.

The future looks there comes in dark aqua tones and chirping noises when information scrolls up and down. The effort reminds me of Star Treks LCARS https://www.thelcars.com where orange blue and purple are prominent and is all touch screen. The future can be very distracting.

Oh, this is pretty awesome. It looks like these old scifi browser games.

I often use exotic frameworks like TuiCss (DOS-like) and 98.css (Windows 98-like) for private projects and this framework looks perfect for it-security projects with clichéd 80s flair.. or a low-quality sci-fi mobile game.
