https://hyperscript.org to compliment htmx, a language that embeds well in HTML, inspired by HyperTalk

Thanks so much for your work on this and htmx/intercooler!

I just threw some htmx on a Django website yesterday and was blown away with how easy it was to do fancy app-y stuff with so little code. Awesome! I'll be trying some hyperscript this week.

Https://swapiverse.com/ It's just our pre-launch page for now. We are planning to match users and allow them to swap books with each other. As of right now, I'm not sure how to avoid scammers... that's my biggest issue.

I like the idea, but I think the trust problem + shipping costs + challenge of finding overlapping swaps could be challenging. But this may be interesting for rare or expensive books With the "overlapping was" problem you may have to create a currency/credit system in which case you're almost a used book store.

A niche cloud that only runs public auditable source code, built on top of ObservableHQ so the user has the power to read and fork the serverside implementation if they wish

https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy/serverside-cells

The idea is if we shine a light on server side implementation, and give more power to the end user to see what is happening, we can build trust. Personally I want an AI to hoover up my data and act based on anticipate my needs. However, in the current climate its just too risky letting my data leave my control.

So the problem is not privacy per se, but trust that my data is used in my best interests. This is my attempt at fixing the internet services trust issue: Make sure the production code that runs on the data is verifiable at all times.

It's very half baked at the moment as the serverside runtime is not open sources, nor is there a billing system. I am acutely aware of the hypocrisy and will fix it in due time :p

A lean HTML editor with instant preview:

https://no-gravity.github.io/html_editor/

See the issues tab for the two issues still need tackling until it can be used as a nice local HTML/CSS/JS editor.

It is awesome, that with the file access api, it is not possible to write full featured editors that run in the browser.

I mainly made it for myself but then decided to open source it.

Personally, I am fine with editing raw text, but of course it would be possible to add modules, so one could enable syntax highlighting etc.
