There's such a strong nostalgia among so many of us for 90s software, that I can't help but wonder if I should repurpose 90s.dev to be something much bigger than it is, something like a community that wants to recreate and share the wonder and beauty and joy of using computers in the 90s. I already planned on doing some of that with the mini os that I'm developing, with bringing back program skinning for one thing, but I think it needs to become much more official and big-picture, a community.

Keep building and keep sharing. My personal interest in this domain is to build a small screensaver & graphics toys demo pack to share with friends. Trouble is how to share it these days. Asking someone to download a desktop app might be too 90s for most. A browser extension? A website? I would love to help inspire the wanderlust that computers and the internet provide.
No I mean I wonder if 90s.dev should become something like hackernoon, but for 90s dev specifically.
