Made a quick photo booth app here: https://ugliest.app/l/586157ce-2924-4cb5-92d5-8bce59c5e40d/c... The platform is good, but there are something I wanted: 1. Handling queries in js 2. event triggers 3. elements manipulation

I used a hacky way to chunk the photos into 50parts and save them in the tables.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're missing a visit counter.

Im pretty sure I included one under the fire GIF. But might not be rendering on every browser.

You're right. On Chromium it renders all right. Beautiful work.

This needs a 'Best viewed in Chrome 86 on iMac Pro' banner.

Or the dinosaur Mozilla banners...

This is like Firebase but actually fun!

Jokes aside though, I think there's a real use-case for something like this: Small multi-user CRUD apps, most often for a confined audience that don't warrant whipping up some kind of web server software and deploying it to a VM or a lambda function or whatever. Just create some tables, write some markup and you're done. Share the URL, it's live!

You could also use it for stuff like simple form submissions in otherwise static sites (à la Netlify) or website hosting in general. Just have your static site generator spit out an ugliest.app bundle and deploy it using curl. You get some dynamic content generation for free!

Hopefully this does not sound insane but I think this idea of "something like Access, kind of, but on the web" is brilliant and necessary. I don't wanna tell you what to do but maybe open sourcing this would be beneficial? Judging by how fast you've been fixing bugs and adding features in the comments I figure the code is not a mess. People might just prefer contributing that one feature they were missing instead of writing their own web server for their tiny app.

how long do you think that it will take for someone to post a picture of their genitalia?
