# Sascha's Cyber Den

> A Windows 95-themed retro personal homepage by Sascha, living at https://starsoul.es/.
> It is a single-page web app (React + Vite) that recreates a 1990s desktop in the browser —
> "a homepage like it's 1997, secretly running on 2026 technology." Everything is interactive:
> drag the windows around, sign the shared guestbook, tune the net radio, flip to dark mode.

This is one HTML page, not a multi-page site — there is no documentation tree. The desktop holds
small interactive apps, each opened from a desktop icon or the Start menu:

- About / readme — who Sascha is, in a fake Notepad window.
- Guestbook — a shared, server-side guestbook that any visitor can sign.
- JukeBox 95 — an internet-radio player (SomaFM stations plus a live Sleepbot ambient broadcast) that shows the real current track.
- Cool Links + 88×31 badges — a hand-curated retro link directory and a webring.
- Paint 95 — a tiny drawing app; save the result as a PNG or set it as the desktop wallpaper.
- Web Surfer 95 — a link launcher and web search box.
- Sticky Notes — a shared markdown scratchpad with live preview.
- World Clock — live times across several cities.
- Wallpaper Gallery — pick a desktop background.
- Display Properties — Teal (light) and Midnight (dark) themes; the site also follows your operating system's light/dark setting automatically.

Tech notes: a client-rendered React + Vite single-page app, hosted on here.now at the custom
domain starsoul.es. No ad tech; Google Tag Manager is installed for lightweight analytics.
The only visitor-stored data is a public visit counter, the shared guestbook, and the sticky note.
