I made an all-in-one encyclopedia app inspired by Microsoft Encarta

What originally started out as a nostalgia project has started to turn into a full-fledged educational app. I wanted to make something that resembled classic Microsoft Encarta, but with up-to-date information and functionality. All information is pulled from Wikipedia, and all of the built-in custom apps integrate with it. I'm not sure if this type of program has any widespread appeal in 2026, but I'm excited to improve it and expand it with new apps and functionally. I'm hoping to release it for free eventually. Would love some feedback or suggestions.

Edit: Since y'all have had positive responses, I'm going to try and release what I have so far later today! Stay tuned.

Edit 2: For everyone questioning in the comments, this was indeed made with AI. I just wanted to make a fun and free nostalgia project with no ulterior motives. If you don't support AI coding, then don't download it. :)

Working on a Cyberpunk-themed OutRun-style arcade racer

The very first video game I ever played was Lotus Turbo Challenge for Sega Genesis, so I've always had an affinity for this type of game. This is my way of paying homage.
