Spent some time the past two days to package the Lua REPL into a mostly functional offline web app https://github.com/gaycodegal/wasm-term

For true offline, in the release page it's also available in #WebBundles format (chrome://flags#web-bundles) or Zip format (https://github.com/gaycodegal/OfflineZipBrowserAndroid/releases).

Coincidentally, I also updated my offline zip browser to fix some bugs I had discovered, and unfortunately it's a better user experience than Web Bundles at the moment.

Tried out #WebBundles to package an app to see if it could out do zip, and the integrations aren't there yet for it to be very useful. It doesn't seem to be able to be installed on mobile so you have to open the file with your browser every time you want to use it. Could definitely become a useful format in the future, but for the moment any use I could get out of it I'd have to write an app for myself, and no one publishes in the format

@judell there's a lot of missing technical middle, but, @ftrain semi-seemingly agrees; https://tilde.zone/@ftrain/109303023579062622

and that's good enough for me! i mean not entirely- i also happen to think for myself there's much truthfulness! but good to see paul chiming in & commenting about the old becoming new, the recycling of ideas, & confirmation from about, in my head, from you Jon.

alas the syndication model is pretty inferior. http has so many future-fronts it could get good at, but feels so radically deeply under-funded, under-pushed. i really wish #webbundles #webpackaging #wbn had a bit more get-up-and-go drive to it, more support. HTTP Signatures alone would help the syndication model, but each fedi posting actively redistributable content bundles would totally shake everything up, be far closer to ideal. if only webpackaging could make the obvious happen, it'd be a huge lock.

pretty tired of the bashing on Google's attempts to improve the web.

bunch of weeks ago there was the Safari/Firefox press-release blast proudly proclaiming that MIDI & ambient light & quite a number of other seemingly basic asks not just wouldn't be done, but phrasing it like it was in the user's interest, that these were too dangerous to consider. please. c'mon. so much showboating.

there've been two big anti #WebBundles screeds recently, which, imho, is one of the most promising & core innovations on the web, a major censorship buster, & key to an offline-capable web. the one from the Brave browser person in particular was filled with endless nonsense that he's floundered in describing in any useful way in github issues; it comes off as so puffed up & dishonest to me.

huge push back against tech, but these are some of the few people genuinely trying to improve things. not in all places, but here, i recognize.
