Does it make a readable HTML if Javascript was to be disabled?

edit: yup it does. Can use Ctrl + S to save via browser too instead of the save icon. Nice work.

I wanted to make/have something like this [1] and got claude to get something close as a PoC.

Nice work! I’ve built a research prototype called Webstrates (webstrates.net) and recently created a local-first version: MyWebstrates (https://github.com/Webstrates/MyWebstrates).

I just tested your note on it, and it works nicely.

Here’s what I did: I copied the HTML of Nash, went to https://my.webstrates.net, created a new blank webstrate, opened Developer Tools, and replaced the entire DOM with the Nash HTML. Now the content persists across reloads.

To enable real-time collaboration, run this in the console:

webstrate.addSyncServer('sync.webstrates.net')

Then share the URL: @sync.webstrates.net/" rel="nofollow">https://my.webstrates.net/?s/@sync.webstrates...

Now it’s live-editable with others!

Webstrates works by storing and syncing changes to the DOM.

With the chance of killing my sync server, here's a Nash note on MyWebstrates: https://my.webstrates.net/?s/41W5owzLg94wDQAin4yJXGnFyKWN@sy...

Calling it a "note" is a bit confusing. I'd call it a self-modifying editable single-file web app.

Indeed, that one would be more descriptive. At first I thought that the project is a joke about pretend-discovering that you can create a web page without tools other than a text editor, and without embedding external resources, similar to vanilla-js.com. I wonder whether "note" is readily understood as "a document edited in a WYSIWYG editor" by some, possibly because it is called that way in some software.

It's because I didn't think hard enough when I named it. I should have described it as a document with a built-in editor.

Nice job! There was a previous discussion about this idea with a mention of TiddlyWiki: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43179649

One of my favorites in this space is Feather Wiki: https://feather.wiki/

Yes, before I wrote the post on HN, I shared it with my local community and they told me about the same two features.

I think those two services are more appropriate for the name "Note".

For my project, I should have used Page or Document for the project name.
