NanderTGA:

Hi there, I'm NanderTGA!

I used to be a member of this community but I've moved on ever since my unfortunate ban, which I honestly can't blame the mods for, as I wasn't always very nice back then.

Over the time I was active in this community, I started the first community package manager repo (after first hacking a package together using burp suite, LOL) and made other various stuff. Over time, I amassed an entire folder filled with random stuff I wrote while messing around.

I've found Windows 96 to be an infinitely interesting website because there is always more undocumented stuff to find, and it holds a special place in my heart to this day.

Every once in a while I find myself even coming back to this website, reading some random stuff and trying it out, and maybe tweaking my repo a bit or something. So much unfinished work :)

Thanks for reading! You can find more info about me on my [https://nandertga.dev website].

Package Manager

NanderTGA: update some repos' statuses + fix spelling

[[File:Package Manager.jpg|thumb|The Package Manager program.]]
The package manager is Windows 96's primary method of distribution for programs. The term "package" refers to a complex set of folders and files, which when coupled with a JSON file and structured correctly, can be decoded by the package manager program and unpacked into the Windows 96 filesystem.

==Functioning ==
Packages are hosted on a webserver, where the root URL of the package folder is then set as a package repository in the package manager. Packages can be hosted on any static website host (i.e. Github Pages), and comprise of a set of 16x16 and 32x32 pixel icon files, as well as a "content@1.0" directories/zips and a JSON file which sets the folders and icons as variables.[[File:Pkgman-structure.png|The package manager file structure.|thumb]]
==Package structure==
During the creation of a package repository, the package manager must be able to decode the structure of the package to be able to successfully unpack any files or folders inside. The file structure can be found on the right.

Packages are created by the community to share their work to other users. Packages may contain applications, programs, tools, themes, or wallpapers. Here are some repositories created by the community:

IFrame App

2023-01-27T22:21:13Z

NanderTGA: Added some history about how iFrame Apps were born, information provided by billygoat891

[[File:Iframe app example.png|thumb|The Windows 96 Wiki application represents a typical iframe app.]]
An "iFrame App" refers to a single-window application which simply incorporates a full size <code><iframe></code> element filled to the window content container. Said iFrame will usually point to an external resource (resource not hosted within the Windows 96 environment) and will have very little logic to integrate with the Windows 96 API.

Iframe apps are extremely simple to create, and require little to no effort compared to more complex applications. This is sometimes useful for hosting external content which does not necessarily want to rely on Windows 96 specific APIs.

=== Subtypes ===

==== Hosted ====
A hosted IFrame app is an application which has its resources hosted on the Windows 96 server itself. Hosted iFrame apps have the advantage of being able to access the top level window object without restrictions, since they are hosted on the same origin. This access usually allows hosted iFrame apps to integrate more directly with the Windows 96 environment, since all APIs are available to the frame.

=== Criticism ===
A lot of users and developers object to most simple iFrame apps, since they are extremely easy to code and require almost no knowledge of the Windows 96 API and program structure.

===History===
The first iFrame App was made by [[billygoat891]] and was called [[MyTube]], a (pretty basic) youtube revival. Billy decided he did not want to update this app all the time so instead hosted his site on GitHub pages and made the app simply have an <code><iframe></code> inside pointing to this website. Other people allegedly then copied his code for their own low-effort iFrame Apps, which simply pointed to another website they didn't even own. This led to billy trying to erase all evidence of its existence because of the plague caused by it. Unfortunately for him there were too many clones by that point, and [[MyTube]] was lost to time and forgotten.

Windows 96 v3 Cut Content

2022-08-11T15:15:15Z

NanderTGA: added information about 96Hub

== Windows 96 V3 Cut Content ==
While [[Windows 96 v3]] featured a lot of improvements, some stuff was also cut from the release. This article will cover these things.

=== Bell ===
Bell is the successor to [[p3]], which had some hype and interest around it in the first ~4 months of 2022, but after its api mysteriously disappeared from the [[Windows 96 V3 Beta|V3 private beta]], nobody heard of it ever again.

Turns out, even after all this time, bell still isn't ready for production. Bell will probably release in a future service pack for [[Windows 96 v3]].

=== 96Hub ===
96Hub was an application with some information around [[Windows 96]], but after this wiki was made, it was deemed useless.

[[Ctrlz]] doesn't care this much about 96Hub, he leaked the source code [https://discord.com/channels/619868741395546117/931861855427764274/985742035413786634 here].

Nander also uploaded it to his repo with custom server functionality.

=== FileNet ===
fileNet was a public file sharing software, it either used p3 or bell, but I'm not sure tbh.
