   I'm hoping for a future where we create static HTML pages again styled with a bit of handmade CSS, because we're so tired of bot attacks and long loading times. Then suddenly a Cloudflare network becomes absolet.

   I like the idea and the logo. But some real world examples like database usage, partials within templates and handling forms are missing.

   Are you aware of the author? He has some experience with Shopify ;-)

   I really do miss it, because it felt like a huge productivity jump and a logical organized UI and file system. When Windows Vista got released I switched over to Mac.

   Totally agree and I think the root cause are today's larger screen sizes, less constraints. Win95 was designed at a time when 800x600 and 1024x768 have been the standards to work with.

   I love this UI, so here is my attempt to re-create this using ImGUI https://github.com/marchildmann/BevelDesk

   That's a reason for downvoting me?! I made a nice and respectful comment.

    Claude helped me to rewire my first digital Märklin model train. It pulled the documentation of the control keyboards 6040 and told me how to wire them properly to the routers. And I restored an old vintage amp with the help of schematics,

    Thank you so much for this link :-) I'm studying old operating systems, because it's very interesting how we've been so productive with less screen pixels than we have today. It's basically mind blowing that 800x600 pixe

    Looks interesting, but missing notarization and source code gives me a headache in this world of vibe coded apps. But glad you enjoyed the afternoon with Claude and get a personal reincarnation of Winamp for your box.

    I totally agree with the author that Windows GUIs and MacOS GUIs are getting worse with every iteration. For my own side project I used ImGUI and it's working great for my purpose. It's by far not as beautiful rendered as the nat

    Really cool - I love the retro look&feel of it. Like Photoshop 1.0 Is it a heavily customized SwiftUI app?

    I love these posts, because I always wanted to get into game development and never found spare time. Thank you so much!

    LOL ... I can absolutely feel your pain. That's exactly why I created for myself a graphical approach. I shared the first version with friends and it turned into "ColumnLens" (ImGUI on Mac) app. Here is a use case from the he

    I'm glad you adjusted the CSS while I was typing my comment. I needed to switch to dark mode to be able to read highlighted words. Nice write up. I will try out your tool.

    Full disclosure: I’m a much better C++ developer than I am a marketer, so I asked Claude to help me write this post. Which is a bit ironic given that ColumnLens is literally about keeping your data local and off other people’s servers. Anyw

    Thank you for this write up. I am still lightyears behind this deep knowledge, but feel like I learned from your post the vocabulary to get started.
