Oh yes. I can't wait to think of a product to build using this design system.

I think it would be hilarious to use this in a desktop Electron app and come full circle.

To top it off the bundle size and memory usage would still be more than just running Win95 in a VM...

I ran windows 95 in VirtualBox recently to play an old game. You need a shady kernel hack because modern CPUs are way too fast, and some shady display drivers.

Electron sounds nicer.
