Additionally, it has an InfoBox which gives random information about a tech device from the Y2K era using my API from my last project. It also has minimize and close animations for windows. Features: Advanced Searchbar : The searchbar in the website is capable of differentiating between a query or an URL entered by the user just like the omnibox on Google. Notepad Window : It’s a window which looks just like the Notepad application on WinXP. It can save the user’s note and also shows the character count of the text! Bookmarks : The website has a bookmarks bar under the searchbar which helps the user navigate easily to his most visited wbesites. Also displays the icons of the websites! Bookmarks Manager : This feature allows the user to add or remove upto 6 website bookmarks of his choice Background Themes : This allows the user to switch between 6 preset background themes Info Box : A small box which gives info about a cool tech device from the Y2K using my API, inspired by dialog box from WinXP.

My Journey This is my second project shipped for the Stardance Challenge and I really enjoyed developing prism.exe . Though I had multiple exams in the last two weeks, I managed to balance my studies and my project. This website started with a basic searchbar on Devlog 1 and my aim was to add features which are useful to the website, keeping it very minimal and also that it should not have any attention-grabbing or loud colors/elements. I’m very happy that I could achieve this by Devlog 6, making prism.exe very efficient for the users. Do checkout prism.exe here! Don’t forget to minimize a window to view the icons of other features… Thanks, Srikar.", "repo": "https://github.com/SRIKAR-B-S-S/prism.exe", "demo": "https://srikar-b-s-s.github.io/prism.exe/"}]...
