Looks better & feels snappier than w11(which granted is a low bar).Not usually a fan of such web-based projects but this looks good, and it's not a full-on replica so points for originality aswell.

Thank you for the compliments!

Snappiness is definitely lent to the tiny scale of the project compared to Windows -- the entire thing is loaded to RAM! Though that's been changing in more recent updates.

Web desktops usually aren't meant to be a true replacement of an actual OS. They tend to be long-tailed exercises that marry web development and desktop development.
