Oh I love this! The website for software.inc/ (a company by the folks that made the Shortcuts app that Apple acquired and baked into iOS) launches Mac OS 8.0 in an emulator and the content of the site is a classic Mac OS application. #VintageMac #RetroComputing /via @daringfireball

"When you click a link on this page. the emulated Mac opens the link in your web browser by sending a packet over TCP to a server running in JavaScript.

The content reader you are looking at is a custom app built using Metrowerks CodeWarrior, targeting the 68k Mac Toolbox APIs in C. The app incorporates work from joshua stein's open source Wikipedia Reader. Custom TextEdit click handling routines allow for natural scrolling on mobile.

Mac OS 8 was released by Apple in July 1997."

@wezm

I had heard about that site, but didn't know a virtual 68040-based system could run so well in my old machine. Thank you again!
