Banana_OS Retro Just Got a (Simulated) Web Browser!
Yes, indeed it did.
It's called Butterfly HTML Browser, and there are currently 3 pages to view. It emulates what the dial up web looked like in the 1990s, with visible loading times and quirky web layouts.
To get it to run, you first need to install it, through the ‘install HTML…’ icon on the desktop. Then, you'll find it in the banana icon menu.
It took a while for me to make, and I'll add more pages as time goes on.

Here's a link to the project that will take you directly there.

Disclaimer:
This feature has nothing to do with real HTML, it is an emulator and uses localised code.

• All pages must be text only
  

• Pages must follow the community guidelines
  

• Pages must have a specific purpose
  

• Pages must have a 1990s/ early 2000s theme (no streaming apps, modern designs or anything that doesn't look like it came from the dial up era web)
  

• By submitting a page (text only) you understand that I may choose to not use your idea in the project. This is not because I dislike it, it is only to maintain the standards of Banana OS Retro's applications.
  

• Finally, please note that I only have so much time on Scratch, and I might not see your comments immediately, as I have other things to to outside of scratch.

This is very cool! I think what would be great is if you create like a ‘core’ version which is just a command line, and then use that to build the OS on top of it, with things like services. Similar to Linux, basically.

Another cool thing would be an API for apps, and an app template that lets people make their own stuff and install it just by dragging the sprite onto a version!
