Here’s a bit more info about the founders and the company for anyone who’s curious: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/29/23981802/software-applic...


The requests in netscape appear to be forwarded to an open proxy - is this a safe thing to do?

curl -H "Origin: https://software.inc" https://classic-mac-website-..snip/http://wttr.in


While on that site I tried to open it in Netscape, to open it in another Netscape so I can create a feedback loop that would take the world back to 1998. Sadly, that version of Netscape can't open new websites.


Oh man, that's good. Would really benefit from some old Ambrosia SW games!


Check https://infinitemac.org - some of the Macs there seem to have an Ambrosia folder. Hopefully it's what you meant? :)


Escape Velocity - one of my all-time favorites.


I love this, I think it's a great way to get potential hires interested in your stealth startup while still stealth


This is great, but the Basic Auth is broken in Netscape, and I can't log into most of my sites. :D


This is true to the underlying system. Old browsers cannot work with TLS 1.2 so if you boot up old machines with old browsers, it is http only sites (of which there are now few)


In this case, I'm going to an http-accessible website, which normally works with Netscape 4 (and 3). It even displays the correct 403 message page (incorrectly.)


Feel free to share the URL and HN can help debug further..


So this is an Apple startup?


Ex-Apple founders, not affiliated with the company anymore.


Apple acquihires. Specifically people from Cue (who were acquired to provide tech for Siri) and Workflow (whose app became 'Shortcuts')


Those weren’t acquihires

Shortcuts now runs on every iPhone


Holy crap. MacOS emulation has gotten really good. I’m amazed how easily I was able to navigate the desktop from my phone. What’s powering this?
