Well, yeah... of course. Thankfully, mobile support hasn't been the highest priority.

Yes I do, a Lisa 2/10! LisaEm was also invaluable. Also, just a general obsession with vintage computers and UIs helped quite a bit!

Yes. Setting aside specifically places something on the desktop. Save-able documents have a "save and put away" option which "refiles" it back in its folder without putting it on the desktop. You made me realize I still

The Lisa doesn't have square pixels, so the canvas is scaled to be 1.5x as high as it is wide. This generally looks fine on high-dpi displays, because there's technically twice as much space to render with (pixels are 2px wide by

Unless the canvas element itself is being selected - which would be a big oversight on my part, that's the default color palette, which is a blue tint to mimic the Lisa's CRT. Right now, it isn't applied until the settings st

Yes, that's correct. There's a variety of palettes to choose from in the preferences!

I'll take a closer look at this. Might be a kerning issue. EDIT: I'm honestly not sure what this issue might be... If you're up for sending me a screenshot, there's an email link at the bottom of https://yaros

I figured... just wanted to see which ones people on HN think are worth looking at.

Is there a good way to collect basic analytics if you have a site you're hosting on GitHub pages? In such cases I'd rather not rely on Google Analytics if I don't have to.

The same thing I was working on last month!

Hey, my site is handcrafted too. But ugly? Speak for yourselves, but I've tried to make mine beautiful. Handcrafted doesn't have to mean ugly... But of course, it's at the point where it's grown into something unwieldy

Yes, that's pretty much correct! "Sensible" is debatable... And that's the URL! (Guess I figured I'd emphasize that point before people start mistaking it for yet-another-CSS-skin™...)

Thanks! The answer is neither; it isn't remotely imitating the Lisa's architecture, nor is it a skin over some other previously written JS code. To be clear: this is absolutely NOT a CSS skin. The only CSS involved is used for t

A web os; it's full recreation of the Lisa Office System GUI in Javascript. The entire thing is output to a single canvas element, which has forced me to write a number of the UI components from scratch that I'd normally take for

Regarding a plan, I often feel the same way about my own project. There are a number of systems I've rewritten multiple times, and I can't help but think much of that would have been unnecessary if I had been more tedious about di

I think the default system font should be a more condensed variant; it would make the system look much more refined. There are a number of areas where it's clear you need more horizontal space for characters. Each character should have

As ads are getting crammed into more and more aspects of our lives both online and offline, what I find particularly creepy is there's been a push by advertisers and tech companies to normalize these practices to upcoming generations.

No, but there's an config option to enable integer scaling. It makes things look much crisper on a high DPI display.

You're doing God's work.

God bless you and your beautiful site. I salute you. As others have said I do think the controls need work; maybe some form of constrained orbit controls would work well.

This is nice. It's simple, functional, and free of bloat. You should build on this a bit! Maybe add a way to save and load animations to/from indexeddb, or to download them as gifs or sets of PNGs. You could also add a way to chan

Trust me, I learned this pretty quickly. Areas are only queued when the display has to chnage in some way. There's also a bunch of prepratation before drawing a region of the screen; only the objects that appear within the specified bo
