Was this done with an LLM? Repo?

Their github account lists over 5,000 commits and 1,500 pull requests... just in the last 4 days.

Yes, if you look at the developer's Twitter account they've shared a large number of projects in the past week, including in-browser recreations of Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME, 98, 95, 3.1, Mac OS 9, Word, Excel, OneNote, Access, Visio, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Reader, a Git Client, a CAD program, a video editor, etc. https://x.com/wieslawsoltes

I wonder how much did it cost.
