There are several examples of small applications in the Wapp repository: https://wapp.tcl.tk/home/file?name=examples/ I especially like the shoplist one. Such a simple application that's immediately useful.

I've been having a wonderful time spinning up small projects using Tcl, Wapp, and Sqlite. Tcl's quoting rules makes it really easy to embed HTML (or anything else, really) inline within a procedure. Simple example: # availab
