I wish browsers had better support for local web apps. If local files can access persistent storage easily, this can open it up a lot of opportunities for quick and easy GUI apps. Basically the opposite of electron.

#22You could make this self contained and truly portable with "real" save using https://rpdillon.net/redbean-tiddlywiki-saver.html

#23HTML: the only markup language that we ever needed.
All it was missing was a self-contained WYSIWYG editor for it.

#24Nice job! There was a previous discussion about this idea with a mention of TiddlyWiki:

#25This is cool. It's funny how we are (or maybe just I am) so used writing the JS parts of websites outside of the actual HTML that my first thought upon seeing this was "wow it's crazy that this can be done with just HTML". And then looking at the source and seeing all the JS in plain old script tags made me remember that that's a thing that you can do.
HTML is underrated. Most of the screens we look at daily, including our code editor are HTML pages.

#27Nice. I do backend web dev, and it's sometimes useful to have a lightweight testing frontend that's more flexible than Swagger. I've had a lot of success vibe coding my way through these frontends with Claude by rapidly iterating on a single file containing HTML + CSS + JS. It's quite fast to get something good enough working, and putting everything in a single HTML file format keeps it simple enough for me, a guy who doesn't do frontend, to mostly understand what's going on. "All in one" HTML file is a good trick :)

#28Thanks for making this. Sometimes I want to just write a quick note and serve as a static html file and this is very useful for that purpose.

#29I still don't understand what is this even though I read all you wrote both here and on the web page.
By 'note' I guess they mean rich text editor.
