A Whole Desktop, Rebuilt in the Browser
Win 11 in React isn't a game in the shoot-jump-solve sense — it's a front-end passion project rebuilt as a working Windows 11 desktop, framework and all, right inside a browser tab. Every visual detail is here for a reason: the frosted taskbar, the rounded Start menu tiles, the little notification chimes when a window opens. It's the kind of thing web developers build to show off what modern UI frameworks can do, and it happens to be genuinely fun to poke around in even if you have zero interest in the code behind it.
What You Can Actually Click On
Open the Start menu from the taskbar to see a grid of pinned mini-apps — things like a Calculator, a File Explorer window, a Notepad-style text app, and a couple of playful extras. Each one opens in its own draggable, resizable window that behaves like the real thing: drag the title bar to move it, pull a corner to resize it, or hit the corner buttons to minimize and close. Widgets on the desktop update live, and the taskbar clock ticks in real time, which sells the illusion that you're looking at an actual operating system rather than a static demo.
How to Get Around
Everything responds to mouse input — click the Start button to open the launcher, click and drag windows to arrange your "desktop," and click app icons to boot each mini program. There's no goal to complete and no score to chase; it rewards curiosity more than skill. Try opening several windows at once and stacking them, or right-click around the desktop to see which context menus have been implemented.
