this one is legit the right call, though

Check out Jeff Lindsay's Apptron (https://github.com/tractordev/apptron), comes very close to this, and is some great tech all on its own.

d_phillaon Show HN: Nash, I made a standalone note with single HTML file

just if i need to type something quickly, to somewhere with effectively zero startup time, just quickly pop a new tab and get a thought down. it's easy for me to lose a thought when im in the middle of something complex, so "time-to-written-down" is kinda the only thing that matters to me

d_phillaon Show HN: Nash, I made a standalone note with single HTML file

I love this. I made something similar, even more bare-bones, for myself a few years ago. I still use it literally everyday: https://tabnotes.page (just type a note)

Check out Jeff Lindsay's Wanix project: https://wanix.sh/

d_phillaon WebVM is a server-less virtual Linux environment running client-side

Hey Alessandro - I'm a huge fan of WebVM + y'all's other work at Leaning Tech.

Curious - is your implementation of how you wrangled lwIP for the networking piece open source? I had previously read the article you linked elsewhere, re: networking, but would love to see the specifics of your approach there.

d_phillaon Blot turns a folder into a website

https://spinup.dev is a similar thing I made a few years ago, with free analytics out-of-the-box for each deploy. Syncing changes is a feature I'd like to add, but time is tight for side-projects at the moment.

d_phillaon Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

https://postacard.co - I wanted a dead-simple way to create a postcard from a pic on my phone/device and then mail it, without a required login/subscription/ad-laden/SEO'd-to-death interface etc.

Had the idea while on a trip with friends last year in Mexico. The postcards we sent were a huge hit with our boomer parents.

d_phillaon WASM by example

This is exactly one of the use-cases for the Scale Framework[1]. (Full disclosure: I work on this project)

You can absolutely take a library from one language and run it in another. In a sense, you could kind of see this ability as drastically reducing the need for rewriting sdks, middlewares, etc. across languages, as you could just reuse code from one language across many others. We played around with some fun ideas here, like taking a Rust regex library and using it in a Golang program via a scale function plugin (compiled to Wasm), to the effect of the performance being ~4x faster than native code that uses Go's regex library[2].

d_phillaon Ask HN: Does Hacker News still do in person meet ups?

+1 for a Chicago area IRL event. Would also love to be in the know.

d_phillaon Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

https://spinup.dev

A simple website deployer that has free server-side analytics on deploy.

It was a pandemic side-project, and I was mostly just interested to see what was involved in building it.

I made a paid plan and integrated stripe because I liked the idea of it possibly paying for its own infra costs at some point. I have some ideas for features I want to add for fun, hopefully in the next couple months.
