macOS Web Clone — Realistic Desktop Environment
Architected with React 18 and TypeScript for type-safe component development, this desktop environment leverages Zustand for global state management and window orchestration. The dock implements physics-based animations using Framer Motion with spring configurations mimicking macOS's native feel. Window management utilizes React Portal API for z-index layering, custom hooks for drag-and-drop functionality via pointer events, and CSS transforms for GPU-accelerated positioning. Built with the help of vibe coding to achieve rapid UI iteration. The UI layer employs CSS backdrop-filter for authentic blur effects, CSS Grid for layout management, and CSS custom properties for dynamic theming. Component architecture follows atomic design principles with compound component patterns for window controls. The codebase implements custom event systems for inter-window communication and localStorage integration for session persistence. This project was inspired by creative UI clones and design recreations shared on GitHub.
