  • fatalvision

    FatalVision DOS-based GUI library for Turbo Pascal

  • Yes, a couple issues of UnixWorld magazine my brother had given me. I saw the workstation screenshots and was so enamored with them that I was obsessed with writing a GUI library. That was how FatalVision was born very briefly. I was specifically impressed with how cool OSF/Motif windows looked hence the look I picked here. https://github.com/ssg/fatalvision

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • winfile

    Original Windows File Manager (winfile) with enhancements

  • The funniest thing is that they're trying to "provide welcome relief from the awkwardness of File Manager"... which Microsoft open-sourced a few years ago[1], to much acclaim from its many fans[2]
