This is a delightful work in progress, an homage to the Lisa UI in your browser. I think of it as being almost like an art project, but whatever it is, it'll be very interesting to see where it goes: https://alpha.lisagui.com/

This is my own project. It is meant to be a retro-themed web OS, like Windows 93 or Windows 96, and in that same vein a kind of mashup of GUI features and apps (soon) from the early 80s, borrowing from LOS, Mac OS, and whatever else I manage to throw in. I didn't post it here point-blank as I didn't want to come across as showing off, and also because it's not remotely feature-complete. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. There are a bunch of apps I plan to write once I get some more basic features fleshed out (like serialization of formatted text, among other things).

Very well done - love the shutdown  :D - strikes all the right tones - as they say 'chiefs kiss'

andrew:
So just recently I updated LisaGUI with a new word processing app, LisaType, which is my very own knock-off of LisaWrite. It's not perfect; it might be a bit buggy and certainly isn't done... I still need to implement undo and embedded images, and a few other features. It was quite a bit of effort to get the typesetting MVC system to work, and I'm very proud of how it turned out.

It's funny... I'm a big MacPaint fan and my original intention was to prioritize the creation of a MacPaint clone; I didn't expect the first real app for this would be a word processor. My work on the typesetting system was meant for general use throughout the system's UI - I needed text input fields and the ability to render formatted aligned text. Once I had it working, I realized the system was fully-featured enough to be an application in its own right, so here we are.

I included the text styles from QuickDraw, including outlined and shadowed text, and the ability to apply multiple styles to text at once. My shadowed text isn't quite as polished as QuickDraw's; all the character glyphs are calculated separately and displayed next to each other... I still think it looks good under most circumstances!

OMG! This is great!

OK to share this??
