I think I'd call that "local-first" or perhaps "offline-first". I can't think of a reason why a local-first app would need to be crammed into a single HTML file

I think I'd call that "local-first" or perhaps "offline-first". I can't think of a reason why a local-first app would need to be crammed into a single HTML file, hehe. I do agree it's very cool, though!
- rpdillon 2y agoI tried to allude to this in my response above, but the fundamental reason that they're all crammed into a single file is to make sharing really easy. This is what I meant when I said it travels well through space.
- tvmalsv 2y agoI definitely get the appeal. It’s analogous to the single file executable. One file to move around, no install process needed, just grab and run. It was the main reason I used to reach for Delphi back in the day for Windows utilities.
- jackvalentine 2y agoSame reason excel business apps are one file - easy to move around and share without dependencies going missing!
