Scrappy – Make little apps for you and your friends | Hacker News

Building personal tools by programming

newpublic.orgStill trying to figure out how to talk about our Patchwork project: it's a local-first malleable software system that builds on our past work. It's shadertoy and a markdown editor but it's also a minecraft clone and an ohmjs programming language workbench. It's also none of those things, or more?
This is interesting! I am doing atproto stuff for the algorave community to store live coding snippets algorave.org
