Follow for updates on my web OS project (https://alpha.lisagui.com) as I add features and fix bugs. I occasionally post other stuff I'm working on. https://yaros.ae • https://lisagui.com/info • https://mastodon.social/@lisagui • https://ko-fi.com/andrewy

The new banner on my website is an image of the front of a Lisa, under the screen, with power button and keyboard cable visible. When the mouse cursor hovers over it, the power button turns on halfway (and when pressed, all the way).
A horizontal row of links to various websites; each link is a pink logo. The links are separated with some whitespace; the marquee is bordered above and below by two thick pink horizontal lines. The subtly textured background is a very dark purple.
A screenshot of the “Developer” preferences pane in the LisaGUI preferences app. The “Developer” pane title and the setting for “Change the Compositing Algorithm” are circled in red.
A screenshot of my blog, with white text on a gray background. It has a list of posts within a smaller rectangle with a blue background. The post list is enclosed within a white double-border and has two columns: dates in white text, and post titles in cyan text. The columns are split by a solid border. The post titles are formatted to look like pathnames. All text is set in the IBM VGA monospaced bitmap font.
Apple’s infamous “hockey puck” mouse. A rounded, fully-plastic, translucent-white circular object with two translucent Bondi-blue grips on either side.
A light-theme version of a rounded, segmented toolbar made up of glossy, aqua-style buttons. Each button has a logo at its center.
Screenshot of a QuickTime player window in macOS. The playback controls are on a temporary overlay which covers half the area of the window.

A dropdown menu titled "Startup from" with three menu options; each option consists of an icon representing a disk, and text (to the right of each icon) specifying the name of the disk.
A rectangular grid of white lines on a black background.
A dropdown menu titled "options" with the following menu options: "Start and reset display options," "Select startup volume," "Adjust video," and "Restart system"
LisaGUI’s "startup from" menu - a drop down menu with three different options listed vertically. Each option contains, from right to left, an icon representing the disk, and the text of the disk’s name.
The Lisa 1’s "startup from" menu, which lets a user select between disks at startup.
The Lisa 2’s "startup from" menu, which lets a user select between disks at startup. This is what LisaGUI’s menu is modeled after, except instead of displaying the names of the disks, keyboard shortcuts (Apple key + 1, apple key + 2, etc.) are displayed next to each icon.
LisaGUI’s "startup from" menu: A dropdown menu with several options. Each option has an icon representing either a floppy disk or a hard drive. To the right of each icon, the name of the disk it represents is listed.
A squircle-shaped, blue, lightly textured icon with a glass CRT display, floppy disk drive, and emblem, resembling an old Macintosh Plus computer. A snowflake icon is present on the emblem and the display.
Demonstration of LisaGUI's new fade-in/out animations, compared with its original old-school CRT expansion/collapse animations.
A video of the LisaGUI web OS. A cursor moves up to a menu bar and selects a command. When the user releases the mouse button, two open windows are resized to fit within the display and are moved to fit within the bounds of the screen.
A screenshot of LisaGUI's "Menubar Setup" preference pane.
A window containing a list of options representing menu bar modules. As the options are toggled on and off, the associated menu titles appear and disappear from the menu bar at the top of the display.
A video recording of the LisaGUI web OS: A set of eyes in a menu bar close when the screen dims, and open back up when the user moves the mouse cursor.
Video captured from the LisaGUI web OS: A set of eyes inside a menu bar which follow the direction of a mouse cursor as it moves.
An animation showing LisaGUI restarting several times with various display scaling settings.
A comparison between the 2:3 and 3:4 PAR modes in LisaGUI.
The new icon for the screenshots menu, which looks like a Polaroid photo.
A demo of two simple eyeballs, like googly eyes, that follow the direction of a mouse pointer.
Video demonstrating customization options for LisaGUI's menubar status area.
The LisaGUI Preferences view menu.
Video demonstrating the functionality of buttons used to rotate and shift desktop patterns within LisaGUI's preferences app.
An updated button layout for the pattern editor.
Note: A block is a measure of Lisa storage space equivalent to 512 bytes, or characters. The Macintosh expresses storage space differently, in terms of kilobytes. A kilobyte (abbreviated K) is 1024 bytes. Thus two blocks on the Lisa equal one K on the Macintosh. About 2000 blocks of storage are available on two and a half micro diskettes.
