I love beautiful software and this is it Edit: I just downloaded the html file and it still works locally as a single page app, no external libs, no fonts, icons, nothing that could break the correct functioning of the app. This is how software should be built, portable, no installation required, drop anywhere and run Kudos on everything perfectly executed

Yep! And it works well on iOS too. Safari sucks and stutters with some of these single file html and I haven’t been able to figure out why, but my god this is awesome and also fun to play with!

Like i get what you are saying, but > no external libs, no fonts... It needs an entire browser.

I get what you are saying. But… if it didn’t need a browser, it still needs a runtime, and a computer, and electricity, and technology to print CPUs and and and

A browser is just a drop in the bucket.

Is there something similar to this that includes melody composition that's not tied to a scale? My son has been composing music for a couple years in Chrome Music Labs and he's definitely outgrown it, but I can't find anything that lives online (and ideally can be downloaded in a single html, love the idea) and allows any-length melodies to be composed within the browser with drumkits, etc...

Something like Caustic, but in HTML :-)

Good point. GlassBox also appears as single page. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49421948 I am working on an RSS reader that is also single page and location-agnostic. Issue for me right now is CORS unblocking as that does entail some complexity to workaround. Current length of the HTML is 2500 lines / 101KiB. Moreover, just like https://theresanaiforthat.com/ - a great thing to see would be something like ther…

How are you going to work around CORS? Proxy is the only way that comes to my mind. Or maybe some XML/SVG magic?

No it doesn't, you can use a local web viewer, less than 2mb. I made one in rust, but don't use it since I have my browser open all the time
