Thanks. The markdown editor is "almost there". Needs a tiny bit more work before I can really say it's the best (specifically for docs). But it does have automatic updates so if you get it now promise it will be better very s

Thank you, appreciate the comment. txiki is good, but more of a nodejs but small (and slow). tinyjs.app is the thing I wrote on top of that great foundation for all the windowing stuff.

Can I suggest an option to allow saving a .nodes-plus/ directory in any open directory? And save the metadata there? That way you have a portable collection?

Very impressed, especially with the markdown/visual syncing. Tried it myself in an app (see tinyjs.app - nib example) and it's hard. Also the copy/paste from other places can be complex woop! Appreciate the app size - includi

From reading your page is the big thing that this is trying to do is give sandboxed access to a fake system? Plus your iphone? So you connect your iphone (using your app) and then you can see the system browser + the iphone browser looking

Sorry a quick addendum. Yes, a lot of it was built with me + Claude. I'd like to think that I authored it, but understand if others feel differently about that. 100s of hours of work was put into ideas, testing, understanding etc.

If you want this experience but don't want Spotify may I suggest my "amp" app - you can get it on tinyjs.app It's small ~10mb. Yes, takes a bit more memory, but it plays all your local files including rarer things like F

"flabbergasted" ? That's quite a strong reaction. It's somewhat normal for nerdy mc-nerdfaces, which the writer definitely is (in all the good ways), to tell people about their hardware. Or at least it used to be? Seemed

As web developers, we heavily rely OSS packages. One popular example is Day.js, a JS lib for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. It's a widely-used alternative to Moment, with over 17mil weekly downloads on npm. A

Haha thanks. Although I'd love to see how other people may be able to use it too.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand that the fields page could be confusing, especially for people who are not already versed in databases. I guess this is one reason that the spreadsheet as database metaphor has taken off so well in rece

Nice. Already learned that I kinda fail at this. But learning. Only comment I have is it is super hard with small islands. Not exactly sure of the solution. Maybe show a red circle around the actual location if you click the wrong one? So y

Makes sense for what it is. The only thing I'd add would be to save business details in localStorage.

Looks super awesome. I was worried about where the data was stored, but it looks like you've already answered that. Have you looked at adding Google Drive sync? I've done it myself (on a project you've just inspired me to pos

I like it, especially the code screenshot generator. Is there a reason you have a dropdown with a bunch of preset aspect ratios but no way to simply drag the side out to make it whatever size you want ?

I agree. It is a little confusing. As a dev I can see how it might be useful when I don't have time to build the interface. But not really sure. Have you looked at something like https://grapesjs.com/ for templates?

Oh no! I really wish I'd kept my kinect now. But that cupboard space is at a premium :(

Ah, but there is a reason people also write NodeJS in haxe. You get compile time checking, code completion etc. And clean Javascipt code at the end ...

I would not use it for UI work where I want a system style UI, with native components. Something such as Titanium Appcelerator is better for that. I would not use it to make a website UI, that is for HTML / CSS. I do use it for games. I do
