Ask HN: What Single File Web Apps do you know of?
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.
- tene80i 1y agoTiddlywiki!
- calebm 1y agoThank you. That's one of the few that I found.
- calebm 1y agoAlso feel free to add them to this list: https://github.com/calebmadrigal/Single-File-Web-Apps https://github.com/calebmadrigal/Single-File-Web-Apps (just submit a PR)

- calebm 1y agoI guess this would qualify as a Single File App (though maybe not a Single File Web App).
- austin-cheney 1y agoThis is my current personal project. https://github.com/prettydiff/webserver 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.

- runjake 1y agoI like simonw's: https://tools.simonwillison.net/ 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.
- calebm 1y agoSome of these are indeed Single File Web Apps (though a few of them contain links to external js and such, which would disqualify those from being a SFWA).
- runjake 1y agoSure, but that stuff could easily be embedded into the file itself. I think the spirit is still there.
- calebm 1y agoAgreed.
- codingdave 1y agoIf you count the scripts that could be embedded, any React app could be a single file. I don't think that matches the spirit, though.
- runjake 1y agoWhy not, Dave? In fact, a number of my own vibe coded tools are single file React in HTML. Disclaimer: I am not competent in React. It's what Claude generated by default and I ran with it so I could poke at the code and learn a little more about React.
- jermolene 1y agoTwo more that I've come across: https://hyperclay.com/ https://hyperclay.com/ and https://feather.wiki/ https://feather.wiki/ Thanks for mentioning TiddlyWiki btw.
- brazukadev 1y agoI'm surprised nobody mentioned slingcode: https://slingcode.net/ https://slingcode.net/ By far the coolest single file web app I've seen.
