    Another great resource to create web experiences that look like old versions of Windows is 98.css by Jordan Scales: https://jdan.github.io/98.css/

    With it, you don't need to use React to get decent results, see?

  6. v86

    x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser

    ... there's a VM on here?! That got a really belly laugh out of me. Looks like https://github.com/copy/v86?

    Awesome work! The whole aesthetic is well done.

    Discontinued My personal homepage

    Thanks! Yep - I wrote a custom React component wrapping v86 (see: https://github.com/hatf0/hat.fo-next/blob/master/components/... - needs some cleanup). The most shocking part is that Doom runs shockingly well through it, too. Looking into getting networking integrated with v86 too via Tailscale.
