This all sounds like something from 2001. I was doing pretty much exactly this around 2001, using contenteditable with an IIS/JScript back-end.

- BoppreH 1y agoI think contenteditable is more akin to a rich-text document, while Hyperclay goes a bit beyond by allowing JS to edit the DOM too. I think Smalltalk images and virtual machines are a closer comparison, but applied to the web. You download the image, with some running code, use it, and persist the whole application state.
- leptons 1y ago> while Hyperclay goes a bit beyond by allowing JS to edit the DOM too. So revolutionary!! How did they achieve this technical feat!?
- philote 1y agoYeah, sounds like Tiddly Wiki or similar except with the need for a backend component. Edit: actually it looks more like a library/framework to make such apps. And now I'm not sure if it needs a backend component or nodejs or not.
