The biggest thing for me is how durable it is as an SFWA (avoiding software rot)

I have an article on sfwa's here: https://gods.art/articles/single_file_web_apps.html. Still hasn't been enough to get past the wikipedia pedants.

https://fuzzygraph.com is a 1.4Mb Single HTML file that I have a build script for (https://github.com/calebmadrigal/fuzzygraph).

I've been trying to advocate for Single File Web Apps. I even tried to create a wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Single_File_Web_Apps), but it keeps getting rejected.

I created a couple Single File Web Apps: https://fuzzygraph.com and https://hypervault.github.io/.

Thank you for sharing this - I looked into OrbStack a few months ago, and this was the reason I didn't use it (as my primary purpose was to have an external wifi adapter for wifi pwnage).

"A website isn't art"? I disagree. https://gods.art/. https://fuzzygraph.com.

Cool idea. I like decentralized architectures that are more durable. But personally, I believe a Single-File Web App (https://gods.art/articles/single_file_web_apps.html) is even more durable.

I'm a generative artist also (https://gods.art). I made a Python starter script for doing generative art: https://github.com/calebmadrigal/truthygraph.py/blob/main/tr..., as well as a web app for making pretty graphs: https://fuzzygraph.com.

New comment by calebm in "How to get better at guitar"

calebm — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:09:45 +0000

I very recently inherited a guitar-harp. One thing I love about it is that it is so straight forward to play - unlike guitar (where you have to press frets), a guitar harp is laid out like a piano (left to go lower frequency and right to go higher frequency). So it's been easy to just listen to a song and play along. I can't sight-read music, and trying to learn a song by reading music is tedious and boring to me. Just listening and playing along feels MUCH better.

I like to consume content in a breadth-first way. Title -> Summary -> Maybe read it.

I've had this hypothesis that human bodies are kind of like cruise ships built by microbes. The larger body is not necessarily the one in control (like in the cruise ship metaphor). Maybe at some point, the vessel being built gains some control of its own - maybe this will happen with AI.

I've still got my 12 mini. Just got a new battery replacement too. Back in my day, phones were cooler if they were smaller.

calebm — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 19:30:45 +0000

This seems like a great idea. Tools like video editors (and CAD) often impose a big learning curve - there is a big differential between "I want to do X" and actually knowing all the right buttons to press to do X. Good luck.

Very cool idea. I think single-file HTML web apps are the most durable form of computer software. A few examples of Single-File Web Apps that I wrote are: https://fuzzygraph.com and https://hypervault.github.io/.
