Windows 11, but for Web

Hello!

Recently I started creating a clone of Windows 11 for web in Preact. My main focus while creating this clone was performance. It must work smoothly even on a low end device (like mine).

The UI isn't complete yet. I'll be working on it in my free time. My focus while creating this is maintainability and Performance. Anyone with a basic level react knowledge should easily understand the code.

Here's the stack I used:-

  • Preact (For smooth runtime performance)
  • ViteJS (For smooth development performance)
  • CSS modules (I know frameworks would have been better. But I wanted some control and Performance Babe!)
    • TypeScript (Obviously :)

Try it out here -> Windows 11 Web

I'll recommend you to contribute or atleast check the code. You'll learn something :)

Try Windows 11 Web:- win11.vercel.app

This isn't ready yet, and who knows when it will XD

Why?

Microsoft launched their newest version of Windows and I was very excited to test it out. So I made this!

BTW, This project was inspired by Macos Web
