Scrappy feels like a digital sticky note. It is easy to make, easy to share, and kind of fun to use together. I am excited to try it out and see if it can become our little shared space for everyday stuff.

My very first thing was automation of placing my journal entry to appropriate Google Drive folder. I write my brain dump/journal everyday in Google Docs, and if I just click "New document, it places it in the root GDrive folder, and I had to move it manually which I am to lazy to do it. LLM helped me write a python script that searches the root folder, finds the right document (name is always the date of the day), an…
sounds like some cool automations, thanks. by api you mean youtube api?
And I use youtube api to extract metadata of the video(s)

This looks like something that should be done like a TiddlyWiki. A TiddlyWiki is a whole Webapplication in a single HTML-File. Traditionally, when you change something, you just save the HTML-File and it self-replicates with the new data. There are now also TiddlyWikis which can save to backends and probably some other ways. Building a whole platform around self-replicating HTML-files with optional backend-access see…
I'm building a self-modifying HTML runtime inspired by TiddlyWiki [0]. It lets you build "HTML apps" in a single file with plain CSS/JS. These apps are shareable and hostable, but you can also download and use them locally as offline apps [1]. The cool thing is each HTML file is able to modify/overwrite itself, so users can use the app's own UI to modify it (e.g. a dashboard where users can add new fields by clicking…
Otherwise really interesting, thanks for sharing!

> Well the reason why you are having to use a web browser I don't have to use a web browser; I want to use a web browser. I'm not in the US, so almost nobody I know uses an iPhone, and I could easily send them APKs, but why go through the trouble?
I mean that’s fine but then you can’t use a huge number of system APIs so it is actually a problem if you want to write software that uses your phones features. It is not okay just because iPhones or androids have a web browser. It’s insane to me that you’re even trying to argue that it’s not a problem that Apple do not let you write native software for iOS for free Also iPhone is not just a US thing. I’m in Germany…
I'm not arguing with you. You're arguing with me, and I'm not sure why. I don't give a shit about Apple. I'm not defending them, I don't care.
What's insane to me is that on the Internet, people constantly try to pick fights.
Godot 3 and 4 are very good for bashing out apps for both desktop and Android phone.
I've been thinking about using Godot in this way recently, would you care to say more about what your experience has been like?
Godot uses a Python-like language instead of Lua, which is good for me. Lots of people groove with Lua, but it gives me the ick.
I did not get very far trying to make 3D or physics-based games with Godot 3. I did not like the 3D interface, and the physics engine was too brittle for e.g. a pinball simulation. Too much tunneling and other inconsistent behavior.
But for 2D applications that are a mixture of text and images, i find it fits the bill quite well.
(For 3D apps and physics, I currently use Unreal Engine 4. Some tunneling, but I know tricks to mitigate that, and I much prefer its 3D interface.)

Yes, there's definitely philosophical alignment with the hypermedia approach: keeping things simple and leveraging HTML's native capabilities. In fact, I use hypermedia-oriented techniques on all the dashboard pages in the Hyperclay web app. But in Hyperclay apps, the DOM is the source of truth -- there's nothing else. So there's no need for more than a single AJAX call (to save the page). HTMX is built to support a…
I'm a little experienced with TiddlyWiki, from memory: `rclone serve webdav` in the directory with TiddlyWiki will let you "write in place". My use case was a home maintenance wiki/manual, the incredible benefits of something like TiddlyWiki in this use case is the ultimate survivability of it. Open `HomeManual.html` in any browser and you can read it (and modify it!) and literally File -> Save As... `HomeManual-2025…
redbean is an open source webserver in a single-file that runs natively on six OSes for both AMD64 and ARM64. Basic idea is if you want to build a web app that runs anywhere, then you download the redbean.com file, put your .html and .lua files inside it using the zip command, and you've got a hermetic app you deploy and share.

Like RedBean? redbean is an open source webserver in a single-file that runs natively on six OSes for both AMD64 and ARM64.

Seriously, if you haven't, go check out the "zen" of tiddlywiki: https://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted
You download "blank.html", make changes, then save it as "mine.html" and you're off to the races. It's pretty wild!

Well you don’t get to not care, that’s not allowed
