98.css offers a CSS-only design system for building accessible web interfaces that mimic Windows 98
EDITOR BRIEF
98.css is a CSS library for recreating Windows 98-style interfaces using semantic HTML elements like buttons, inputs, and labels. It includes no JavaScript, works with frameworks such as React or vanilla JavaScript, and can be installed via npm, GitHub releases, or imported from a CDN.
INSIGHTS
The project reflects continued interest in retro UI aesthetics, especially among developers building nostalgic web apps, demos, or playful internal tools. Its accessibility-first and CSS-only approach makes it easier to combine vintage visuals with modern frontend practices.
