@maik_klotz Congrats on the launch! LOVE the retro vibe - a pleasant trip back in time for us oldies! Are you doing a Windows version soon?
@anna_ludwinowski Yes I am working on a windows Version as well!
@maik_klotz Awesome, thanks! Just curious - why couldn't you apply the retro style to your daily browser?
@anna_ludwinowski You can.. but if you need plugins, etc. tnan its better to use something else
Does this also include 1999-level latency?
@ligaya_beebe Nope, but I love the idea
@ligaya_beebe In the next Update!
Wow, that's awesome! Memory unlocked. Like traveling back in time.
When for windows or android?

Looks fun to use. How exactly does it pull the old version of a website?
@aymnart It use the waybackmachine: http://wayback.archive.org/
The modern Chromium engine under a classic browser UI is a fun mix. Wayback Mode also makes it more than nostalgia, since you can actually browse the web in its old context.
This is the vibe I remember when I first tried a computer in my early years. Totally basic UI, and I was amazed as a kid. Brilliant!
@busmark_w_nika yes the good old times ◡̈ maybe you like retromac as well…
Love this idea. The older I get, the more I appreciate products that remove complexity instead of adding it. There's something refreshing about software that remembers simplicity.
