May not be as featureful but I like fos [1], because it provides web components, which I can use on frameworks like Elm

What Hacker News says
7 sourcesHi, I'm the maintainer and put together the code for this first working prototype of the digital version of the game. Thanks already for your feedback!
I will gladly provide hints here if you get stuck :)
Many thanks also to atum47, whose FOS, Fake Operating System I've used for the game. You can find it here:
https://github.com/victorqribeiro/fos
We have developed the game at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, School of Business, Institute for Cyber Security & Cyber Resilience.
https://www.fhnw.ch/en/about-fhnw/schools/business/iwi/cyber...
The game is based on a student work that has been published here:
Schneider, Bettina, and Trupti Zanwar. "CySecEscape–Escape Room Technique to Raise Cybersecurity Awareness in SMEs."
https://conference.pixel-online.net/FOE/files/foe/ed0010/FP/...
In Virtual Cybersecurity Escape RoomHi, please take a look at my FOS library. I tried to do exactly what the article describes a web component should do - extends HTML providing new elements that can be used without any further "programming".

In The Failed Promise of Web Componentsby the way, this is FOS https://github.com/victorqribeiro/fos
In Show HN: My New Web Page Looks Like Windows 95that's really gorgeous. I find windows 95 aesthetics a master piece. I'm not gonna lie, I thought about windows 95 when I was creating FOS, my Fake Operational System "framework".
I'm thinking about refactoring it and I'll may incorporate windows color scheme to it. Here's the link if you wanna see what I am talking about.
