#222Hi, I'm the creator of Bento. Just wanted to share a bit more about how I created it beyond what's in Github. The file contains more or less two sections. There is a plain block of JSON near the top of the file which is the slide data. You can read, grep, or point a harness at it. The app itself is in a base64 blob that loads through a small shim which deflates in the browser with DecompressionStream, which keeps the…
The concept that's MAGICAL in Reveal.js is vertical slides. e.g. https://revealjs.com/#/2/1 You just make one slide deck with lightweight high-abstraction slides and depending on the audience you just... hit the down arrow. bam. now you're inside the tech slides. no nerdy tech guys? sweet, don't hit down on slide 3. Instead you're with the marketing guys, so hit down on slide 5. Anyway - looks like you got rid of tha…
I guess I get the clarity (of vertical slides as you describe), but I'm wondering if two dimensions is limiting -- slides could be a flow chart, with various forks/side quests along the way. Obviously it would be possible to build something as confusing as the Colossal Cave, but the vertical slides use case would easily be a subset of that larger functionality, and it would leave it up to the user to decide their level of need for/tolerance of complexity.

#223Awesome. 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
Can you create a list on github with known single-file web apps? Wikipedia is not a good place to promote ideas. It is a place where ideas in practice are documented. Github is a good place to promote stuff.
Already made: https://github.com/calebmadrigal/Single-File-Web-Apps. PRs welcome.

Notes was suggested in another comment as the next app in the series, so yeah I think it's a very good idea to do something like a workspace.

Would be cool to use Nostr relays, then you don't have to depend on the proprietary CloudFlare infrastructure.
Thanks for the pointer on this, will check this out.

Don't hijack browser history like that.
Ah I didn’t realize what you meant until I checked my history. Thanks for the feedback!

How do I tilt the desktop browser?
I made it specifically for mobile browsers. I’ll try to make it still work though for desktop!

#228Loved it. Local-first is the way to go.
By the way, how many tokens did you have to burn? :D

#229Can you clarify the collab architecture and what gets shared vs. not shared with Bento servers to enable this collaboration?

Thanks. To be honest, I don't know because I have a personal Max plan I use for this stuff and never set any telemetry up on it to get accurate metrics.
