okay what tf this is insane... no clue how you accomplished this but i love the crazy attention to detail!
You can now go outside of Windows 99 to a little development blog. It's nothing fancy, but it does have a Guestbook and some screenshots of the development/references/prototypes as well as some technical information and a changelog. https://win99.dev/devblog/

I was going through my mockups and forgot I made this. Needs to be implemented:
bug reports/submissions over the last few days (that weren't obscene or insulting): no games, and can't delete system32. OK, i'm adding solitaire and you'll be able to delete the important system file doing irreparable damage to the OS! stay tuned.

I have to learn how Spider Solitaire works first... And find a Windows 98 Plus download for it, and start researching it...
Impressions? Give it a shot! https://d2w9rnfcy7mm78.cloudfront.net/40552540/original_b8c92b5b0c274a8aeef8ad8337dd2d4a.png?1761269316?bc=0

Your overarching theme is really cool. I like the concept of the mall, circa early 2000s, with all of it's identity and dynamic characters that interact!!

hey I found out that you can use window.scrollTo(0, 0); to scroll to the top of something - if you used a sideways slider that used %s to determine the X and Y values you could create a very simple and custom scrollbar!

The scrollTo() idea is clever in concept, but it would require building an entire custom scrollbar system from scratch - tracking mouse events, calculating thumb positions, handling all scroll interactions... We actually explored workarounds like this months ago and decided the effort wasn't worth it given Firefox's intentional limitations. Let's write that petition!
