I bet with a highly unreasonable amount of work, I can replicate this with pure WebGL2 instead of the slow but very easy and convenient Context2d.

I love it. Screensavers are special to me and I've been building some custom ones for myself this year. Sadly the windows bubbles screensaver this is imitating no longer has its original beauty. Microsoft now fully covers your screen with your accent color before starting the screensaver, so no more desktop image effects work.

There's such a strong nostalgia among so many of us for 90s software, that I can't help but wonder if I should repurpose 90s.dev to be something much bigger than it is, something like a community that wants to recreate and share the wonder and beauty and joy of using computers in the 90s. I already planned on doing some of that with the mini os that I'm developing, with bringing back program skinning for one thing, but I think it needs to become much more official and big-picture, a community.

Keep building and keep sharing. My personal interest in this domain is to build a small screensaver & graphics toys demo pack to share with friends. Trouble is how to share it these days. Asking someone to download a desktop app might be too 90s for most. A browser extension? A website? I would love to help inspire the wanderlust that computers and the internet provide.

No I mean I wonder if 90s.dev should become something like hackernoon, but for 90s dev specifically.
