Windows 11 in Svelte
- splittydev 4y agoLooks great, but not very realistic. The real Win11 start menu doesn't open immediately, it glitches in various ways for 3-4 times before actually working. Realism 7/10
- altano 4y agoI still can't believe how buggy the start menu has been since Windows 8, released TEN YEARS ago.
- movedx 4y agoThe START MENU? TEN YEARS? My friend, how about simple file management? They've been at that for DECADES and still can't get it right? "Oh, you dragged something over the top of a network drive in Explorer, let me waste the next 3-5 minutes trying to connect to that drive for you". Or how about this: "Oh you plugged in a USB drive that was setup as a live CD? Let me crash for a second and mash your MBR to bits". How is Windows still mostly garbage at this point?
- labster 4y agoI disabled OneDrive syncing on Edge, and the next time Windows refused to boot. I had to reinstall the OS from the recovery partition. Tracking: it’s mandatory!
- NavinF 4y agoSomehow it feels like there's more to this story
- smt88 4y agoI've been using Windows for 30 years and haven't encountered either issue you've described.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoThat kind of attitude leads to user blaming. I have fond memories of the workgroup network scan freezing my computer for extended durations in the xp days
- smashed 4y agoOr just download a large file, choose save as on a drive other than the C drive because it is too big, and watch IE proceed to fill up the temp dir on the C drive, completely ignoring the fact you asked to save on another drive. Or if you had enough space, still waste minutes copying the deleting the file...
- racedude 4y agoIE? We're in 2023 dude, don't think that is even usable anymore.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoA memory of XP was invoked, hence the comment about other XP anecdata.
- geraldhh 4y agohaha! can totally relate that 'save to temp-dir first and copy later' behavior is so frustrating because it's inconsistently applied and not easily avoided, yet somewhat incomprehensible to the average user.
- smt88 4y ago> in the xp days Those days ended in 2007. I don't know if that issue persisted after XP because I've never experienced it.
- smashed 4y agoI don't use windows daily but was trying to add an additional keyboard layout (US English) to a family member's windows 10 PC today. Searching for such a simple thing in the control panel was infuriating to say the least. I finally found it, random clicking in every potential places and it was in the most unintuitive place you could think of. You would expect "keyboard layout" search to bring helpful results but it does not.
- geraldhh 4y agojust wait till windows randomly decides to add some other layouts and mess with the switching order
- philistine 4y agoWHY DOES IT DO THAT!!!?
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoIt doesn't? I'm multilingual and always had 3 keyboard languages in parallel and never had any of those issues happen in 15+ years and 6 versions of Windows. Most likely he was hitting alt+space by accident which cycles through them without him realizing. Hot take: I feel like a lot of Windows issues people raise are actually user errors/accidents, then blaming the OS for it.
- thfuran 4y agoSystemic user error is a software defect.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoHow the user mashing random keys a SW defect? The SW does what you tell it to do.
- 4y ago
- Ruq 4y agoI switched to Linux entirely (but may reinstall windows as a second OS for some games if I get the wild hair...), and while it can still be buggy at times here and there (Arch Linux, so go figure), it's usually my fault, and it can be remedied most of the time. Still a thousand times better of an experience than Windows.
- leeoniya 4y agoi threw in the towel as well after debloating the same win10 install for the millionth time. switched to Arch (EndeavourOS KDE/Plasma) and life is sane again; enjoyable, even! i do miss Affinity products, tho, which cannot even run in Wine/Proton :(
- uxcolumbo 4y agoSo what design tools do you use now? Browser based?
- leeoniya 4y agoi'm not a designer, but use Krita for very basic edit tasks and Inkscape on occasion. can't use GIMP well because it's GTK2 and the UI doesnt work well for pixel-scaled (HiDPI displays), and GTK3-based GIMP 3 dev builds often fail to compile: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gimp-devel https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gimp-devel
- stinos 4y agoThe funny thing is that I encountered the exact same issues OP complains about (network not available = let's stall forever, insert USB drive = let's crash hard) on various mainstream distros. Especially the first one is super common and on various levels and through various protocols.
- movedx 4y agoMe too. Ubuntu 22.04. It's come a long way since I last Linux in... 1999 and 2003! Haha! Now I'm even considering FreeBSD as I friggin' love that OS. It's rock solid, predictable, and fast. I just need to make sure a few things can be made to work, even if it's via the browser, like Zoom.
- eviks 4y agoWhat would the forces be that magically turn garbage into a diamond?
- zbendefy 4y agoAgreed but if talking about default file managers, its even worse on ubuntu. Nautilus is imo very bad compared to win file manager (hitting a key starts a global search in that folder, it crashes very often etc.). Does anyone know if they plan anything with it?
- bombolo 4y agouse dolphin
- kijin 4y agoIn the past, the Start menu only listed local apps. Nowadays, the Start menu is a glorified webview that loads arbitrary ads from remote networks and integrates with a half-baked AI. No wonder it's slow and buggy. Open Shell (formerly Classic Shell) is a godsend that restores some semblance of sanity to the Start menu, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Windows 11.
- darreninthenet 4y agoHere's the discussion thread on GitHub regarding Windows 11 compatibility: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/discussions/745 https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/discussions/74... TL;DR - it's mostly working with some outstanding bugs and some users giving workarounds in that thread
- pjmlp 4y agoIf you would have gone through the WinRT evolution since its introduction on Windows 8, you would believe.
- usernew 4y agoThe start menu was not released 10 years ago. the start menu was released when windows 11 was released. Yes, it's still called the start menu. No, it is not the same application, nor does it share any code with previous applications. Now, my new TV has an interface where if press the favorites list button and don't touch anything, it times out and closes. The problem is, if I keep scrolling through the favorite channels, it still closes after this timeout. How long has the Favorite Channels menu been around on TVs - 40 years? I can't believe they still can't get it right. That my friend, is the logic you are using. Just like in Linux, you have your choice of a bunch of different start menus made by all kinds of people and companies. Always had - even in the win3.0 days you could replace the shell variable in win.ini with whatever exe you wanted. Heck, you can make windows look like a mac interface if you want. There are features and choices microsoft makes as a default, and they don't fit yours or my requirements. They do however fit the requirements of an edgy teen who does most his computing on a cell phone, a soccer mom who thinks deleting a webmail email will get rid of the out of space message on her PC, and the priests who only know how to launch a browser for looking up underage gay porn. Microsoft did not make the start menu for you, they made if for the largest portion of their target market. Because people like you can easily change it, and people like them would have trouble using a computer at all otherwise.
- bogantech 4y ago> How long has the Favorite Channels menu been around on TVs - 40 years? I can't believe they still can't get it right Where this analogy falls apart is that the favourites menu on TVs hasn't always been implemented by the same people, Microsoft is always the one (re)implementing the start menu - they should have figured out how to not screw it up this badly by now
- geraldhh 4y ago> The start menu was not released 10 years ago. the start menu was released when windows 11 was released. Yes, it's still called the start menu. No, it is not the same application, nor does it share any code with previous applications. i hope we can agree that if functionality was not a priority while reimplementing, it should not replace a working product.
- piceas 4y agoIt was pretty buggy when it came out with the release version of win95 and it didn't even have the ability to automatically search the web for things I wasn't looking for. We're just in a bad start menu decade at the moment. Surely adding a shortcuts on the desktop obliviates the need to use it. All of my programs add one automatically so it's super easy.
- hu3 4y agoI use https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher to fix start menu and taskbar. Can't imagine using Windows without it.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoFuck me, this sounds good. What's the downside?
- hu3 4y agoFor me, once a day it crashes Explorer.exe which promptly restarts by itself and life carries on without harm. Takes one or two seconds to rebuild the taskbar when it happens and it's fun to watch. No data is lost. No program closes. It just restarts the taskbar process.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoI get this with unmodified W11 in the OOBE on the latest update, so it'd be SNAFU!
- v-yadli 4y agoIt failed once recently after an system update. Blank desktop with no shell. Had to ctrl-shift-esc and manually download latest `ep_setup.exe` and run it to get the desktop back. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20230324-00/?p=107966 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20230324-00/?p=10... Raymond did not point out which "desktop enhancement software" it was but I suspect this is it.
- dataflow 4y agoI like this part: > We have to hope that enough of the users whose systems are crashing realize that it’s due to the “shell enhancement” program (rather than blaming Windows itself, which is the more likely case) I would 100% blame Windows (or Microsoft, rather) for making the shell so awful that people have to resort to these tactics. You can't cripple the steering wheel on a car and then blame people for not finding perfect aftermarket substitutes.
- tuanm 4y agoSometimes, a little bit slower is better. =))
- wiseowise 4y agoAlso, ads.
- throwaway2990 4y agoMust be an america thing with the ads. In asia there’s no ads and it’s instant.
- Aleklart 4y agoyesterday I saw an ad in start menu right between app names asking to pass some unrelated non ms survey. I thought i got malware, but it was “show suggestions occasionally” that I disabled a month ago enabled again.
- dustedcodes 4y agoOn the other hand the file explorer doesn't work, so that's like a 10/10 in realism.
- theodric 4y agoNot nearly enough ads, spyware, or telemetry, plus the feature set remained stable for the entire time I was playing with it. Totally unrealistic.
- luckystarr 4y agoYes. I also found the interface was way too fast to be believable. Edge started instantly, Windows Store didn't take ages to load, etc.
- hackernewds 4y agounacceptable SMH. Could have used at least 50 more "wait" function calls
- mapcars 4y agoExactly my thoughts, too fast to seem real

- LegitShady 4y agoI'm a windows user. I have windows on 3 computers. The only devices that don't run windows are an ipad and an android phone. I don't understand why I'd want the windows 11 experience anywhere I wasn't forced to have it. I heard they may soon restore some of the features they took away from the start bar, though.
- nikanj 4y agoHey that’s how Windows 8 went as well. Some dweeb convinces upper management that tablets are the future and the UI should turn be optimized for touch, then the .1 update rolls back some of the changes after MS realizes corporations still do work on normal desktops
- MarioMan 4y agoI have been using ExplorerPatcher ever since I jumped to 11. It lets me choose my favorite unholy blend of both Windows 10 and Windows 11 task bars.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoYou’re not forced to have it on the 3 computers you do have it on, so saying you don’t want it elsewhere isn’t an assumption anyone can make. I doubt the developer has you specifically in mind when they developed this, though.
- LegitShady 4y agoI have windows but not windows 11. I'll be on 10 until they stop supporting it, because of all the unnecessary UI changes in 11.
- secalex 4y agoYour scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
- nstart 4y agoJust want to shout out a couple of things. One, it's great to see a hack project here that's been done just for the fun of it. I'm noticing a few comments questioning the "why?" around this. To me at least, it's just a really fun thing to do to hack together something, just because. There doesn't always have to be a rhyme or reason for things like this. Two, it felt like there was a period where sites that would host hack projects with no limitations was slowly dying out. Not just because of costs but also because of the associated risks with it (spam, phishing, etc). I really do love what Vercel is enabling here. When I mentor younger folks, it's becoming really easy to tell them where to go throw up a hack project after they've learnt git and Vercel is fast becoming The choice to send them to. Much kudos and gratitude to the team there.
- waboremo 4y agoVercel and Netlify are fantastic options for those exact class of projects. Render as well for the more full stack hack projects.

- low_tech_punk 4y agoHave you tried opening https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ inside the edge browser inside the app? I think the recursion taps out after the second layer.
- gaetgu 4y agoI have gotten in to go down five layers (at which point I run out of screen space) and it is still perfectly responsive. Actually at this point feels more responsive than the real windows 11.
- yashash 4y agoactually there is a way around just add a ?1 or any thing random after the domain like https://win11-svelte.vercel.app?1 https://win11-svelte.vercel.app?1

- wontoncc 4y agoIt feels so weird when it's actually snappier than the original UI.
- mcv 4y agoIt only has to be snappier than Windows, which isn't hard.
- revskill 4y agoWhen open Bing, there should be a bunch of "crappy stuffs" like Ads and Popups. Also, adding a small delay when open any windows to be more realistic.

- aetherspawn 4y agoAmazing, it's more performant than the real thing.
- tgv 4y agoTBH, that's not amazing. It opens a div with pretty much hard-coded icons and text. Browsers are really good at that. It's rather a bit of a shame that Windows 11 is so sluggish. But that's what you get when you put layer upon layer upon layer upon layer of UI, I guess.
- intrasight 4y agoReminds me of a bygone era when I had played around with doing something similar: Windows NT in IE5. It was a very useful learning exercise as I'm sure this one was.
- andsoitis 4y agoCaveat: this is not, in fact, an implementation or enablement of Windows in Svelte!
- oaiey 4y agoThere is something with this idea: recreate a desktop environment in the browser. I have done it in the late 90s (obviously in PHP), and until today they show up regularly. Once MacOS, once windows, in svelte, in react, whatever. I thought it/I was brilliant then but nowadays I cannot even grasp the idea on why I did that. Never seen any in production for anything, and the only remnants like movable panels of properties always feel misplaced on web pages/apps.
- anxion 4y agoSynology's Disk Station Manager recreates a desktop environment. https://demo.synology.com/en-us/dsm https://demo.synology.com/en-us/dsm
- sgt 4y agoSynology's web desktop is really slick. Is there an open source web desktop environment that comes close? I've seen os.js etc but that looks a bit dated now. The React ones for Win11 are a bit immature still.

- mihaaly 4y ago... but why?!
- yashash 4y agowhy not
- deweywsu 4y agoI'm going to sound old here, but why use Svelte? Why yet another one? Why not an established framework like React or Vue? I realize Svelte is compiled but it's oh so close to the others, and its performance is only better in certain corner cases. I ask because of learning exhaustion with the plethora of lookalike languages and frameworks and the constant, unending learning curve associated with all front end development now. I'm not dissing creation or incremental progress. I just sometimes don't think the constant change for new languages and frameworks that come with only minor syntax changes or small differences under the hood is worth the never-ending mandatory learning thrust on developers.
- yashash 4y agoWe actually first created it with https://github.com/blueedgetechno/win11React https://github.com/blueedgetechno/win11React then I was learning Svelte didn't have any new project ideas so redid it with Svelte and found out its just much better DX. Much easy to maintain + much more :)
- deweywsu 4y agoWell that's fair. Glad you found worthwhile performance and other improvements. Kudos on managing to learn Svelte and get this cranked out so fast!
- tomgp 4y agoNice! Really interesting to see the difference between the two implementations, comparing the frameworks in something more than the usual toy examples is instructive. FWIW I agree that the Svelte version looks much easier to maintain!
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- vermilingua 4y agoI'm going to sound annoying here, but have you actually used Svelte? The developer experience is night and day with Svelte(kit) and React/Vue. I can have a workable prototype within a couple of hours with Sveltekit, where it would've taken me a couple of days in React/Next.js. Svelte feels like an answer to that unending churn of web frameworks because so much of it is just plain HTML and JS, compared to learning the newest React flavour every fortnight. Further, I don't think it's fair to say that Svelte isn't established, it's in production on some pretty big sites and has been stable for years now.

- jonplackett 4y agoWhy is everyone so obsessed with replicating such a terrible UI as windows. I had to go back to windows this week because the software to run a massive LED curtain we bought for the office window will only run with this 10 yo windows software. And it was horrible. Just horrible.
- circuit10 4y agoI quite like replicating UIs I general, it’s satisfying to get it looking the same
- beebeepka 4y agoI am so bummed almost no one is hiring to do svelte here in Bulgaria. And if they do, the pay is like half of react pays. Spending the nights learning is not ideal as that consumes stamina required for the job that pays my bills. I think Svelte's approach would win over in a few years. As nice as Vue is, getting rid of virtual DOM makes total sense.

- MisterTea 4y agoAt the bottom of the readme is a huge spammy star this project advertisement with animated images. I cant help but laugh at the irony of a project which replicates the experience of Windows 11 - an OS with integrated self promoting Ads - itself displays spammy self promoting ads. The same github user has this same spam on every repo - no wonder they are a Windows fan, right at home with spam.
- vctrnk 4y agoI wouldn't have a problem with that, if only they were in better taste... that graphic looks like something out of XKCD, and the scrolling userlist almost gave me a seizure.
