Thank you so much for your project! I have spent the last few months working on my own retro computing CSS library, but instead inspired by BeOS https://beta.mtechnic.me

PS: while doing research on my project, I found your portfolio site as well. Was shocked to see we had the exact same taste in music, and genuinely made me curious if everyone whose doing retro throwbacks libraries did as well.

Thanks for creating this, it fit perfect for a tiny web site I made[0]. Hits just the right mix of usability and nostalgia and makes me want to use it for more projects.

I used 98.css as starting point for the Winamp theme in https://chiptune.app. It was very easy to modify and extend, thanks!

You nailed it, I'm glad you had a good outlet for it.

This is awesome. IMHO things like this were the whole point of CSS. Nice job!

This is even more impressive knowing that its artisanal code, or as we called it back then, code.

I wrapped many projects in 98.css. And some in Aero and even XP. Thank you!
