I'm recreating Windows 98 desktop GUI faithfully in pure HTML, CSS, and JS, complete with desktop theming, file management, and some programs recreated from scratch or embedded from existing ports.
It started when I was feeling nostalgic and tried to redesign my website with retro style. Then I found 98.css and OS-GUI and got carried away and now it's a full fledged web OS.
There are some accurate recreation attempts like Minesweeper, Media Player and some screensavers, some with my own spin like ChatGPT-enhanced Clippy and Notepad with syntax-highlighting. I also include some well-known projects such as JSPaint, JS-DOS, and many Emscripten ports.
I'm aware that many retro Windows web recreation exist (98.js.org and poolsuite.net are my favorite), but none of them accurately captured the joy of desktop customization that I look for so I made my own version.
