Browser-based Apple Lisa simulator takes you back to 1983

10 months ago

The Apple Lisa, released in 1983, was one of the first commercial personal computers with a graphical user interface (GUI).
The Lisa's GUI was inspired by Xerox and introduced features like a mouse, icons, and windows.
A browser-based recreation called LisaGUI allows users to explore the Lisa's early GUI design for free.
LisaGUI is a web OS written in vanilla JS, recreating the Apple Lisa Office System's UI from scratch.
The project includes custom typesetting and supports combining multiple text styles, though it's not optimized for phones.
LisaGUI scales the interface to match the original display proportions, making it look closer to the real thing.
Dragging a window in LisaGUI shows just the frame, a nod to the Lisa's hardware limitations.
