Um, that's amazing... and it's free?

Thanks! It's a project I did in my spare time and it's made with a lot of MIT licensed JS libraries, so it's natural to make this MIT licensed as well. I don't know even know how anybody would start to monetise something local-first like this in this day and age.

Awesome. I've been trying to promote this kind of Single-File Web Apps as a concept - feel free to add this to the proposed Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Single_File_Web_Apps

https://hyperclay.com/ could be on there I think

This blew my socks off. Theres something so satisfying about knowing everything I need is in a single file. I know the caveat is *1. Have a modern browser*, but this is my go to format when trying out random ideas. I even have a macro called `try` that sends me directly to a new folder called `scratch/YYYYMMDD_`.

Great work! I hope to see more and more apps like this in the spirit of "Toss it all into context"

I like it. I used Claude and Qwen to build single file HTML decks in the last few months. The nicest thing with HTML decks is that you can not only ship the decks but integrate your prototype/demos in the same file integrated into the flow of your deck. Would love to see a feature like that.

Did you chew on monetization at all? I'm building something similar but for bio-imaging scientists, where I've packed everything I can into a single HTML (and even some modern segmentation models like Cellpose3 and StarDist that fit under Cloudflare's 25MB free tier limit haha.

Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead but I'm hoping maybe I can cover the (future?) compute costs by charging for the heavy duty ML that would have to be run non-locally but IDK. This isn't critical yet but would love to hear your musings.
