the story
A full macOS desktop simulation. Version 2 is a Next.js application where every app you open is its own code-split chunk, every window is a real component, and the text is fetched from the server rather than baked into the page.
Windows drag, resize and snap. The dock magnifies like the real thing. The terminal is full of easter eggs — and there is a Konami code.
