What's this? Some sort of 98.css[0] type thing that mimics an oldskool browser's UI? Because the site is vague on what the UI elements are supposed to be for.

- genezeta 6y ago> What's this? From the site: > In February 2019, in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the development of WorldWideWeb, a group of developers and designers convened at CERN to rebuild the original browser within a contemporary browser, allowing users around the world to experience the rather humble origins of this transformative technology.
- mattowen_uk 6y agoWow. I don't want to be churlish but you should know your internet history. 'WorldWideWeb'[1] was the client application co-developed by Tim Berners-Lee and is the original 'Web Browser'. When you click on the top right button on the linked site, you are shown an interactive copy of WorldWideWeb running on a emulated NextStep[2] desktop. --- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldWideWeb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldWideWeb [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP
- avodonosov 6y agoThank you. I thought that's just an article about the NeXT browser. Now I noticed the button.
- caslon 6y agoNot...quite. It's not an emulated NeXTSTEP desktop or WorldWideWeb itself. It's just a tribute to it. They made a blog post on how they made it a few years ago, if I recall correctly. It's just some UI chrome on top of some Javascript.
- mattowen_uk 6y agoI was simplifying. :)
- SllX 6y agoImitation NeXTSTEP actually, to imitate the original operating system WorldWideWeb was released on. Your confusion is understandable though and you don’t deserve to be buried for it. Win95 and by extension Win98 and later did take some uh, inspiration, from NeXTSTEP.
