I geek out on any UI from the 2000s, so I built my personal site to look and feel like Windows XP. Made this two years ago to get better at React.

My goal was to fool my dad into thinking he was actually using Windows XP and it seemed to work.

No mobile version (yet) :(

If you think it's cool you can check out the somewhat outdated code: https://github.com/SohailSayed/winxp-personal-website

I love these! I don't know how much thought you're giving to mobile, as it certainly not the main focus, but the site is pretty much broken on a phone.

Thanks! I've put off mobile for 2 years - maybe I'll get it done this summer lol
