Really polished! And it really captures that windows XP aesthetic, but also the spirit of that aesthetic.

If Windows XP had had some kind of super professional “create a portfolio” app that would output an executable binary that you could download it would’ve been lauded as amazing and beautiful if it looked like what you created.

This is great. It shows your skills, but also brings back the beauty of Windows XP, in a contemporary but historically accurate format.

In an alternate timeline where malware never existed and Apple had gone out of business in the 90s, all portfolios , presentations, and resumes would be packaged as .exe files as a de facto standard. It’s a great and flexible exchange format!

I often fantasize about this, late at night. That exe rule the world. You can have portable document formats inside exe (or nix binary) that contains its own reader. The glory days of self-extracting zip archives achieve the ultimate realization of their lofty ideals.

Add to this the ability to make it cross-platform executable[1] that has no dependencies to get the perfect file format.
