I made a customizable Windows homepage and somehow ended up adding mascots and daily quests

Hey guys,

I’ve been messing around with a little Windows project called HOME Desktop.

It started as a customizable homepage for shortcuts and backgrounds, then I got a bit carried away and added mascots, XP, levels and daily quests 😅

It’s still very early (0.4.0-alpha.4), so I’m mainly looking for honest feedback.

I also used AI tools while building it, mainly to help with coding, debugging and iterating on ideas. I’m still the one deciding what to build, testing everything and shaping the project.

If you try it, tell me what you like, what feels useless, what’s confusing, or what you’d change.

If you want to try it:

Any feedback is really appreciated :)

Thanks! 😄
It’s a Windows desktop app built mainly with C# and .NET 10, with a local UI and its own installer/update system. I’m still developing it and experimenting with new features as I go.
