Nickel Tools
Nov 2025
A desktop OS in your browser: app grid, app tray, draggable windows, and a swipeable mobile mode. Every little web thing I make lives here.
Why I Built It
I wanted a website that was "a website of websites" so I could/can give any little web thing I build a home 💖 I also wanted somewhere to put my art. A desktop OS seemed like the perfect container since pretty much everyone already knows how to get around one.
