This is fantastic. To me, this is one of the greatest side-effects of agentic coding; adding new functionality to vintage, abandoned or obsolete hardware. It gives me hope for a solarpunk future where e-waste gets a more functional second life.
Cool! I've been wondering for some time if a good low-distraction but pleasant environment could be an old Mac OS on a (good looking) Hackintosh. The UI was baked with UX research at least.

When I owned a iMac G3, the Classilla browser was surprisingly good. Looks like development ended in 2021.
Also, the branding was "Mac OS 9".
Exactly. I don't know why some people'd change the branding.
The project didn't, only the HN submission title.

Freaking love it! Gonna put this on my 1998 Bondi Blue iMac G3 today.
Time to fire up the ol PowerMac G4 MDD (last native support for Mac OS 9)
Absolutely love it.
