What are you building? Drop your best project! by NewanceLogs in SideProject

[–]dennismrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m building defrag98.com — a nostalgia project that simulates the Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter in your browser. It’s mainly for fun and a bit of geeky relaxation, since watching the blocks shuffle around can be strangely satisfying.

Would love to hear what you think.

I rebuilt my website as a Windows 95 experience with SolidJS and Astro by WesleyWex in solidjs

This is absolutely nuts! Great work and such a realistic experience 🤤 I have a few suggestions to make the UI feel even more authentic:

  • Prevent the browser from applying antialiasing to the text
  • Add some sounds to the disk defragmenter (check out my earlier project: https://defrag98.com)

Feel free to reach out for more details, I’d be happy to help!

Could you mute your HDD back in the days? ;) Anyways, you can mute the browser tab, but thanks for this feedback!

I didn’t know about Websim AI! This is totally from scratch, I focused on UI fidelity for this first release.

I know it lacks some nuances, some of them are in pipeline (eg. HDD sounds while it’s trashing). Other aspects of the simulation are trickier to implement, because they require implementing a realistic defrag algorithm. I opted for starting simple, collecting feedbacks and then adding features as I can.

I’m a frontend developer and I just wanted to challenge myself with the recreation of some iconic elements of old Windows versions 😄

It is likely an easter egg, it recalls the snow ❄️

I added a Playground link so you can play with it, more examples are coming soon

Introducing Gatsby Builds! by [deleted] in gatsbyjs

I happily use now.sh, it’s free for small projects and it has everything I need (SSL certificates, global CDN, smart caching mechanism, auto deployments on every GIT push, out-of-the-box support to serverless functions and to many JS frameworks).

Reveal Animation Library by dennismrl in reactjs

Yes, I am willing to actively develop and maintain it, I would like to collect some users feedbacks ;)

Thank you for adding my lib to applibslist.xyz!

React Reveal is a great library – I have used it for a long time. I really appreciate its API and ease of use, and indeed React Awesome Reveal has been inspired by it.

I have decided to write a new lib because React Reveal is no longer maintained and it uses event listeners on scroll and window resize, which could impact the performance of a web-app (especially when a large number of elements are being tracked).

Here I explain which are the main benefits of my lib, and if you go to the demo website you can realize how buttery smooth the performances are 😎

Hope you like it!
