Yeo Kheng Meng: “In October 2019, my company SP Digital held an internal hackathon. My colleague Subhransu and I worked on a whacky idea of writing a brand-new Windows 3.1 app which was an OS released almost 30 years ago. The idea we chose was a Slack client. After all, Slack clients exist for most platforms but I’m certain one does not exist for Windows 3.1."
This is really fantastic! It gives me all the feels of days gone by. I spent an incredible amount of time working on a great Windows application called Visio. It began life on Windows 3.1 and still runs today on modern Windows OSes.
Makes me wonder if my old C++ framework would work on Windows 3.x today? It began life there but I bet it wouldn’t compile today. 🤔
