Indie project recreates Visual Basic 6 IDE in the browser

Original: Un proyecto independiente recrea el IDE clásico de Visual Basic 6 (formularios, toolbox y editor de código) para correr

An independent project has recreated the classic Visual Basic 6 development environment, including its form designer, toolbox and code editor, to run entirely inside a web browser. The recreation lets users build and run VB6-style applications without installing the original software. Developers and retro-computing fans are discussing the project on tech forums, with many recalling the simplicity of VB6 and praising the effort to preserve a much-loved tool from Microsoft's past.

Why now: Nostalgia for Visual Basic 6 and interest in browser-based emulation of classic dev tools are driving attention.
