Windows 95 - Web project (Discontinued 2019)

Trying to recreate w95 experience, using only html/css and less js as possible.

This project was initialised summer 2018, to create an "virtual environment". (Wich can be found on : https://x.clpo.net/). At the begening it was just a simple w95 looking desktop.

But over the month its became a website with a near real windows 95 experience. This is why today i put my project on github to find some people who can help me to dev. this website and add functionalities.

Feel free to send feedback about your experience on my website.
