I developed a Windows 95 theme Pokédex with React

While surfing the React community, I managed to see this beautiful Windows 95 style UI components called react95. The nostalgia is real with this one.

I've been playing with APIs and got interested with PokeAPI so I thought of combining both, that's why I built poke95.

The app is developed with these technologies

The app is still a work in progress but here's the current output.

I added the windows 95 startup sound to make it more nostalgic.

It's trending on r/reactjs with 400+ upvotes!

Feel free to clone the app here.
