I actually didn't know that, but my favourite part of this comment is seeing Xaphoon mentioned. I love Xaphoon! I still listen to some of his old remixes on youtube some times haha

noted and I appreciate the detail!

it's all about the feels

just like the site itself, I'm slowly trying to piece something together in a coherent way when the process itself was the complete opposite. When I do figure it out I'll do a post/series of posts on LinkedIn most likely. there's a few posts already on there about it, but nothing super in-depth

im open to all connections btw :) i'm just getting started!

thank you!

if they remember the site, they'll remember me :) kinda?

its been a nightmare trying to word it... haha. I really do feel like it's something that nobody else is really doing, at least that I have seen. but if I really think about, why would anyone do this? hahaha

some of those redditors don't know what they're saying then, huh? thats such a good point - couldn't I run XP on a CRT monitor today if i wanted to

i'll remember that next time someone says anything! thanks dude!

thank you so much

only since a few days ago haha

I might have to re-elevate the goals after this haha, I thought it was cool personally but truly didn't expect this kind of reaction

thanks for letting me know! i've had someone else mention that it didnt work on folding devices, but considering i've never even held one this makes more sense to me so ill look into it

It was definitely a long fought battle haha

Yeah for sure, I completely get it - I can genuinely understand the large majority of reasons people have for holding that opinion and I don't even necessarily disagree with many of them. I will admit, I do find it wildly entertaining and having the ability to turn an idea into something tangible almost instantly allows me to produce more high quality work.

Aside from personal opinions, I just think that it's pretty clear where the world's going and since money doesn't care about feelings - companies are going to use it. so I feel like it probably helps, or at least will start to help more and more as time goes on having it clear that I can and do use these AI tools they keep hearing about.

thank you so much for the kind words, appreciate it more than you probably realize :)

yeah I would also love to get that working - at one point that was the plan but things changed. It's something i'll look into updated, thanks for the suggestion.

fair call! the CRT toggle was fairly recent in comparison to the full screen toggle so it was a case of seniority haha but I'm at the point now were I can spend time on things like that and the icons will be getting a refresh at some stage so i'll remember this.

thanks

aside from the frustration it's been pretty cool building it, its almost like im back in 2006

i've got no statistics to back it but I'd bet my life savings on it being exactly that (its $0, but still)

cease and desist followed by the announcement of windows on mobile any day now

the site is built on extreme nitpicking my friend, its welcomed and encouraged. I'll look into it!

fun fact: this whole journey started because of that effect. I had that and was trying to think how I could use it haha

you're probably right and I've actually had someone tell me that no monitor during the XP era would've been a CRT one haha so the whole things a bit off but I think people can let it slide

thank you so much

thanks for testing - thats really strange, i've never experienced anything like that myself or had anyone else mention it. ill try and recreate it with the info you gave me - thanks mate

do it!

thanks boss!

interesting, if you can be bothered - could you let me know if disabling the screen effect via the system tray toggle makes any difference? thanks for letting me know

thanks for that! I was a fresh account when I originally posted it so I completely understand. cheers!

it's on my list!

nah I removed that from my version, I can't remember why though so I might try and bring it back - if you look up jspaint or paintjs theres some really cool ones available
