Ideas on modernizing the open-source desktop

10/GUI

Here it is: my crazy summer project to reinvent desktop human-computer interaction. This video examines the benefits and limitations inherent in current mouse-based and window-oriented interfaces, the problems facing other potential solutions, and visualizes my proposal for a completely new way of interacting with desktop computers. There's more information at http://10gui.com .

Components.build

An open standard for building modern, composable and accessible UI components.

XP.css

A design system for building faithful recreations of old UIs.

Anthropic experiments with real-time UI generation on Claude

What do we know so far? "Imagine with Claude" will be released as a temporary demo for certain plans (only Max?). Users will be interacting with a classic desktop UI where windows and apps are managed by the AI itself.

Looks like what I've been building is quite similar to what the foundation of Patchwork-26 is. Lots of "tiny apps" (atomization of software, loosely coupled) + just the web. Local-first and where everything revolves around the content (data-first, can use preferred UI/view). Happy to see this! 🎉
