Appreciate the app size - including releasing separate Intel/ARM versions - no need for giant binaries! Thanks.

I realise you're not trying to be Obsidian (ie markdown is everything) but wondering how you are saving your priority etc? In a side directory like VSCode does or just internally in the app?

So you connect your iphone (using your app) and then you can see the system browser + the iphone browser looking at a site that an agent is working on?

It looked like there was also functionality for some kind of other sandboxed apps inside superagent "move windows" mentioned but I didn't quite understand what that was about?

I was sick of installing 500mb Electron apps for every little utility. The last straw was Harvest updating from 5mb to 500mb in latest release.

Tauri exists (and it's great) but I wanted something that was JS first. So I built this on top of txikijs, a tools that includes QuickJS and SQLite already.

TinyJS does what it says it does. Small apps that can do almost anything. 100% JS.

As part of building a tool like this I also built a lot of example apps, to test and understand required functionality on all three systems. The two I am most proud of are:

amp: like winamp, but with a bunch of extra stuff like being able to play tracker files, and internet radio

nib: I'd like to think it will soon be the best editor for documentation (specifically) in markdown

I've also experimented with re-wrapping many of the apps I already have downloaded. Some just work (Harvest), some possibly could ie Slack. I know some apps will never make sense to use tinyjs but that's ok.

I just want to save room on people's ever pricier SSDs! (and make computers fun again with silly things like pigeons that fly across your screen for now reason)

It's small ~10mb. Yes, takes a bit more memory, but it plays all your local files including rarer things like FLAC + Cue, midi and all the tracker files you could want!

And includes a bunch of viz - and you can write your own too.

It doesn't do Winamp skins; decided I wanted to add more than they could support.

A critical bug was discovered in Day.js (see: https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/pull/2118) causing incorrect date manipulation (add, subtract) when in UTC TZ. This could have severe implications for any project relying on Day.js for date-related functionality. However, the maintainer of the project appears to be unresponsive, leaving the bug unresolved and the future of the library uncertain.

This raises some important questions for our community:

- At what point should we consider a widely-used OSS project "abandoned" if the maintainer is unresponsive?

- Is forking the project the best solution, or should we first try to reach out to the maintainer through other channels?

- Are there established community guidelines around responsiveness expectations for widely-used OSS projects?

- What are successful examples of community-driven forks or maintenance after a maintainer stepped away?

I am very aware that many of these developers give their spare time for free for these projects, with little or no payment, and I am very thankful for all their work. This developer does get some money (a small amount?) through OpenCollective, and possibly also works for a company (in China?) that makes a UI library, which I think uses Day.js internally.

I understand that the fields page could be confusing, especially for people who are not already versed in databases. I guess this is one reason that the spreadsheet as database metaphor has taken off so well in recent years?

There are docs, but of course some kind of introduction video would probably help a lot? What do you think?

Again, thanks for the kind words and feedback. It is invaluable.

Drawing inspiration from old-school databases like DBase, FoxPro, and MS Access, CocktailCMS is a browser-based database with features such as linking datasets and sub-tables. It's designed for local data storage in JSON format, but there's an option to sync with Google Drive for backup. Data can be exported in CSV and easily copy-pasted into visualizers.

To give you an idea of what it can do, I've included two example datasets: a Game of Thrones one and another one on Mixology.

The project is currently built in JS + Vue2. However, it does need a bit of renovation due to tech rot. I'm contemplating an upgrade to TS + Vue3, and also want to open source the project. But before I embark on this, I'm curious to gauge the community interest. Your feedback and suggestions are much appreciated!

Only comment I have is it is super hard with small islands. Not exactly sure of the solution. Maybe show a red circle around the actual location if you click the wrong one? So you can learn. I'm stuck on St Martin.

Have you looked at adding Google Drive sync? I've done it myself (on a project you've just inspired me to post about on HN) and is a super easy way for people to sync their own data without having to do any kind of setup.

It seems you should be able to do this with other online storage using OAuth but I haven't found anything else that works frontend only.
