Wow. 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.

- 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. :)
