Achille Lacoin 2024-11-26 13:48:02 Hey, I'm working on smallweb, a self-hostable personal cloud.
It's inspired by by serveless platforms like val.town and old standards like cgi-bin. I still struggle to describe it. It feels like coding in dropbox, but in a good way.
For example, if I want to host my new blog in smallweb, I can do it by just creating a new folder at ~/smallweb/blog/main.ts :
import { Smallblog } from "jsr:@tayzendev/smallblog@1.1.5";
export default new Smallblog({
siteTitle: "Pomdtr's Blog",
defaultAuthors: ["pomdtr"],
});
Then, no need to run any terminal command or to wait for a deploy step, my blog is instantly available on the blog.pomdtr.me subdomain: blog.pomdtr.me (this one is hosted on my raspberrypi).
Apps also have write access to their own dir. For example, if you go to vscode-demo.smallweb.run, you'll be able to write in my own smallweb dir. Or feel free to draw me something at excalidraw.smallweb.run !
All of the websites hosted under the smallweb.run domain are open-source, and can be found at: gh.smallweb.run

Sharing fish tower
Was built as half experiment with how quickly I could get a websocket real time thingy up and running, and to see if I could market a London Filet O Fish First Timer meetup using a webtoy.
I think people don't use webtoys to market real world events as much as I would've thought - I think this gets cheaper with AI and perhaps we'll see this a lot more?

A meetup for people who have never eaten a Filet O Fish in London?
Conrad Godfrey 2024-11-27 19:22:42 It was nice! Just kind of tasted like.... McDonald's burger? Anyway I'm going to take the site offline now because I'm out and about and lots of people seem to be trying to hack it and I haven't really protected it
Conrad Godfrey 2024-11-27 21:06:19 the final shape - I'll replay the database and do some sort of write up later 🙂 .
Ivan Reese 2024-11-27 21:37:26 Oh my god incredible! Thanks so much for sharing this. It was fun while it lasted.
Ivan Lugo 2024-12-01 21:45:37 Hello Future of Coding folks!
It's been a while since I've crawled out from my cave, but I've come to share something fun, at least I think so. I've finally managed to get the downloadable TestFlight betas up for free for my visualizer tool for macOS and iOS, and you can get the links here on the main GitHub page:
github.com/tikimcfee/LookAtThat
Many thanks go out to everyone here that helped answer odd questions at odd hours to help me build this first releasable beta. Cheers, and let me know what breaks!
