▲Incredibly beautiful, possibly because it maps so well to the mental model we typically use to organize knowledge in our heads. I don't know how we lost the folder/container vs. document/content iconography, and other things (like layout of items, sorting) during the shift to web applications.
reply▲I guess this model doesn't maximize engagement

[-] Oh wow, to me the history section feels like Civilopedia (in a good way). I can't explain why.

[-] Such a cool project! Now it's just missing search and a request for donations
reply▲It's also missing the defrag tool. Without it, it's going to be very slow as the disk fills up.
Should put a shortcut to it on the desktop as well, so that users who experience significant lag can defrag at will.

reply▲It is nice. I randomly click on something interest just appear in my mind and lead to this: life -> death -> last_words -> More milk. But I can't find it on Wiki. I search More milk. and the first result is this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Michael_Jackson. Hmm, why is the name different?
reply▲reply▲Wow, do you know what is the relationship between More milk and the death of MJ?
reply▲The Wikipedia article does:
> After several hours and several drug injections, Jackson was still unable to fall asleep, and, according to Murray, was repeatedly asking him for "milk", a nickname for the powerful surgical general anesthetic propofol, which Jackson had used in the past as a sleep aid. At 10:40 a.m., with Jackson still not asleep, Murray relented to his requests and injected him with 25 milligrams of propofol diluted with lidocaine. With Jackson finally asleep, Murray testified that he left his bedside to go to the bathroom, and after returning two minutes later, discovered that Jackson was not breathing and had a weak pulse.
reply▲Thanks! TIL that Propofol has a nickname "Milk of amnesia". MJ asked more milk which meant more propofol.

[-] This is genuinely a really fun way to browse Wikipedia. Only drawback is that folder names that contain ellipsis don't show the full name when clicked.
reply▲This is just beautiful. I wonder if this could turn into different styles, like that of a book, or a cabinet?
reply▲make it look like encarta 95 and you'll have a REAL winner on your hands
reply▲I guess appearance is subjective because I always considered XP to be the ugliest Windows ever released.

Unlike Wikipedia these days.
reply▲I guess XP (x64) could run like this on modern PCs.
reply▲Yes. It definitely lacks the hourglass mouse cursor experience!
reply▲Seeing the Windows XP theme I loved the most really brings back a wave of nostalgia

reply▲Is there a reason why it looks like Temu's Windows XP? Copyright concerns I guess?
