It felt like using someone elses computer and exploring their bedroom.
I tried opening your site inside of your site and then one more inside that and it stoped. total recursions achieved 1, but man was it cool. Loved it
I love your site!
I had the same concept for mine but it is Mac OS X Tiger (iOS on mobile breakpoints).
I'm a big fan of this project! I've been following it for years now. It was submitted a couple of times to HN:

really nice project, the UI in the browser feels way more responsive than my Win 11 nowadays....
Oh no.. it has 3D Pinball Space Cadet and Doom, here goes my night :)
Amazing work on this website! It encourages exploration and navigating the folders to see all the content.
Christ. Nice work man.
I clicked the link and assumed that you must have been using some JS OS UI library because of how nice it was.

I made something like with a similar aesthetic a few years ago but themed after win95 (which seems to be hardly unique these days). But it had a secret gimmick where aspects of it were implemented with in terms of itself (mostly, file icons could be edited within app and you could see them update on the desktop).
I had grand plans for it but they never eventuated.
