edit: I'm new here! let me get some of that sweet sweet karma!
- pryelluw 1y agoBeautiful work.
- esseph 1y agoThis is really well done. Excellent work!
- sibeliuss 1y agoCannot believe how well done this is! great work
- dang 1y ago(I'm one of the mods here) - I've re-upped your original Show HN and merged the comments hither. I've also marked your account legit so it won't get misassessed by those nasty spam filters in the future!
- mkl 1y agoFor me, the start menu takes a couple of seconds to appear, and disappears again after a fraction of a second (Chrome 138 on Windows 10).
- mitchivin 1y agointeresting, if you can be bothered - could you let me know if disabling the screen effect via the system tray toggle makes any difference? thanks for letting me know
- mkl 1y agoThat makes it work 30-50% of the time, after flickering closed briefly. After reloading the page and leaving the CRT effect on, it worked once (the first time) then not. Reloading the page and turning the CRT effect off immediately, it seems to work every time, but flickers.
- mitchivin 1y agothanks for testing - thats really strange, i've never experienced anything like that myself or had anyone else mention it. ill try and recreate it with the info you gave me - thanks mate

- keepamovin 1y agoReally polished! And it really captures that windows XP aesthetic, but also the spirit of that aesthetic. If Windows XP had had some kind of super professional “create a portfolio” app that would output an executable binary that you could download it would’ve been lauded as amazing and beautiful if it looked like what you created. This is great. It shows your skills, but also brings back the beauty of Windows XP, in a contemporary but historically accurate format.
- mitchivin 1y agohaha wow, thank you so much :)
- xp84 1y agoIn an alternate timeline where malware never existed and Apple had gone out of business in the 90s, all portfolios , presentations, and resumes would be packaged as .exe files as a de facto standard. It’s a great and flexible exchange format!
- keepamovin 1y agoI often fantasize about this, late at night. That exe rule the world. You can have portable document formats inside exe (or nix binary) that contains its own reader. The glory days of self-extracting zip archives achieve the ultimate realization of their lofty ideals.
- Waraqa 1y agoAdd to this the ability to make it cross-platform executable[1] that has no dependencies to get the perfect file format. [1]: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan
- wewewedxfgdf 1y ago>> let me get some of that sweet sweet karma! You are going to be a wealthy man very soon now from all that karma.
- VagabundoP 1y agoVery enjoyable. Well done.
