I was surfing the Internet a few days ago and found an open source project called “Windows 12 Web Edition” – which implements the interaction and UI of Windows 12 on the web.
Project highlights:
-
Beautiful UI design
-
Smooth and rich animations
-
Various advanced functions (compared to the web version)
Of course, Windows 12 isn’t released yet. The author said that he was deeply inspired after seeing the Windows 12 concept map (Powered by PowerPoint) online, so he decided to make a Windows 12 web version.

▲Start Menu
▲Dark mode
▲AI Copilot
As you can see, this is just a front-end project and probably not too technical for most developers.
But what if I said it was written by a 14-year-old junior high school student?
That’s right, the author of this Windows 12 web version, Tan Jingyuan (screen name: Xingyuan), is a domestic middle school student who has just entered the third grade of junior high school.
According to the author’s public profile, he was born in May 2009. His primary school and current junior high school were both in Chengdu. As a junior in junior high school, he has already won two heavyweight awards:
-
First Prize in the CSP Popularization Group (CSP is a non-professional level competency certification launched by CCF for non-professionals in society, and the assessment content involves algorithms and programming)
-
Third prize in the Blue Bridge Cup National Competition (the Blue Bridge Cup National Software and Information Technology Professional Talent Competition is the largest information technology competition in China organized by the Talent Exchange Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology).
In addition to Windows 12 web version, he has also developed the following projects:
-
Nikov Online Tools: “A website designed to deceive people, with so many hurdles in the registration process that no one can succeed.”
-
Tapple scroll detection: “A scroll detection style library, inspired by Apple’s official website, this website uses this style library.”
Judging from the technology stack, he is very familiar with Scratch, which shows that he has been exposed to coding since he was a child. Scratch is a graphical programming tool for teenagers.
Talking back to the Windows 12 web version, judging from the project’s code repository, the author used a three-piece front-end development package – HTML + CSS + JavaScript to implement this project. It was purely native code development and did not use a front-end framework. .
The author also developed a path plan for the project:
And some “imaginations”:
The author stated that the current mobile adaptation of the Windows 12 web version is not perfect, and the desktop version of the website is still “make do”.
But overall, this Windows 12 web version has a good experience in terms of exquisite UI design, rich functions, and silky animations.
Therefore, the project has been open sourced on GitHub for just over a year and has received 1300+ stars (the latest star number has exceeded 1900).
The author also said that because he is already in the third grade of junior high school, he will be too busy to take care of the project for a long time in the future, so he has temporarily handed over the project to contributors for maintenance.
Two days ago, Open Source China reported that “junior high school students wrote the Windows 12 web version”, which aroused the doubts of many “senior” developers. Some people thought that it was written and developed by their parents, and some thought that junior high school students had no time to do this.
Of course, some people saw that this was a student’s work:
Later, project members responded to the questioning voices on the Open Source China website:
In fact, the author’s README in the warehouse also mentioned that he was not in the third grade of junior high school when he wrote this project, so he had plenty of time to tinker with the project. Now that I have entered the third year of junior high school, I have to focus on my studies and have no time to take care of the project, so I handed over the project to contributors for maintenance.
Finally, I can’t help but think of a great man’s foresight – The popularization of computers must start from babies.
