@mprove That is an impressive collection. Thank you for sharing!

MacPaint from 1984 runs in the browser as an emulation: https://infinitemac.org/

Trying it out is even more fun if you've previously watched an interview with the developers like this one: https://youtu.be/-syl7m_i-80

I'm currently researching this topic to write about the development of modal and modeless user interfaces.

@compositorapp I'm happy to hear that, thanks Karl! I'll be following the development of your Compositor app and hope it will be a success. I know that a good WYSIWYG LaTeX editor is a dream for many. I've also been involved with the topic of word processing/editing for a very long time and hope to bring an idea of my own to life in the future.

@compositorapp I actually don't use a clever cross-platform solution, but rather separate codebases for both platforms: C#/XAML + WinAppSDK for Windows, and Swift + SwiftUI/AppKit for macOS. This approach works for Square Sketch because its feature set is limited. Whenever I’ve written some code for one platform, I rewrite it for the other. That also serves as a kind of code review at the same time.
