- local HTML file cannot import local JS modules, so I have to use legacy writing style
- local HTML file cannot open other local files (for example, audio files)
I understand that there is a risk if we allow local HTML files to access anything, but there should be some way - for example, a file or directory might have some suffix that allows access to it.
I do not want to use a web-server because it feels like overengineering and I don't want to open a terminal, navigate to a directory and start a server every time, it takes too much time. I just want to type the URL and have my app running.
Hyperclay has given me some ideas. What I want is something like [3] but that the user only needs to install once. One electron app that can load our mini-apps.

After building this, I realise that we need a standalone electron that can download and run offline apps that are more complex.
As a UX designer with some dev chops, I’ve been getting a lot of value from the whole vibe coding thing lately. I can get from idea to solid working product super quickly.
I’ve noticed 2 parts where I get slowed down and I’m sure there’s a market for a product or two, which would fit your idea (I think):
- setting up all the tracking/monitoring/netlify config. So like GA, Search Console, AdWords, netlify hosting etc.
- guiding me through the launch - helping me plan and track how to market and get users onboarded
Would love to chat as I’ve had a bunch of ideas and your product looks like it’s off to a great start. Not sure if you’re hiring?!
What platforms have you been using for this? Did you face any challenges in getting the backend setup?
