Ask HN: What Single File Web Apps do you know of?

10 points by calebm 1y ago ↗ HN

I'm trying to get a Wikipedia page for Single File Web Apps approved (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Single_File_Web_Apps), and I'm trying to find good examples of Single File Web Apps (web apps that are just a single HTML file). Please comment if you know of any.

This is my current personal project.

https://github.com/prettydiff/webserver

The backend is multiple files but the frontend is a single file SPA. It loads with state restoration and LCP in about 105ms.

I like simonw's: https://tools.simonwillison.net/

I vibecode a bunch of similar tools I use, inspired by Simon, and have them stashed where I can get to them.

Two more that I've come across:

https://hyperclay.com/ and https://feather.wiki/

Thanks for mentioning TiddlyWiki btw.

Another one I'd forgotten is Wiki On A Stick. It dates from 2006 or so, just after TiddlyWiki's first release

I'm surprised nobody mentioned slingcode: https://slingcode.net/

By far the coolest single file web app I've seen.
