It also supports:

- webdav

- file

- SFTP basically ssh ( i have used tailscale and linux laptop ssh)

please watch after the fake ending!!

yeah, i was too bored this weekend and wanted some feedback on thing i was working on but it did not get that much traction.

Anyway i don't think this kind of idea has been tried that much. there are projects that try to wrap existing project in docker/helm thing but this is platform solely built for running apps, means platform give ton of stuff (auth,file management, websocket etc etc) and core app logic is really small (look at server.lua file).

this is thinking from of normal people (not tech enthusiast running homelab or what not) being able to run server apps with same ease as they install apps from playstore in their phone. (atleast that's the idea)

You can email us at hn@ycombinator.com for advice on your Show HN. We can comment on whether we think it will be interesting to the audience and give feedback on your intro post. It's better to do that than post multiple projects to HN within a short timespan, as your chance of success will be influenced more by effort and substance than luck.

It reminds me of https://sandstorm.org/

PotatoVerse is a small app platform that hosts web applications with server-side code and frontend assets. Think of it as a hybrid between a CMS and Heroku-like PaaS, all in one binary.

DEMO: https://tubersalltheway.top/zz/pages/auth/login

Platform for apps, currently Lua support ( future WASM). Think like apk (android app) but spk.zip that has server.lua file for backend and htmt/js/css that get served for front end plus platform gives Files, SQLite db (namespaced/scopped access ), Auth, User management All in single static binary Cz go

Instead of local first what if we wrote cloud first but cloud part is so easy to run that if you want to run just locally just run small “cloud” locally. My attempt

Excellent name! I love it

I was gonna comment that Go is a fantastic language for this since it's trivial to package everything up into a single binary that contains everything necessary and has everything you need in its stdlib as well. And low and behold...

Appimage maybe, don’t say flatpak Cz wherever I update my arch system flatpak gets broken which I have to fix by updating or reinstalling

lol I see this as I plan on using Git for my thing store. https://github.com/blue-monads/potatoverse

There could be a way: This HTML-lite spec would be subset of current standard so that if you open this HTML lite page in normal browser it would still work. but HTML-lite browser would only open HTML-lite sites, apart from tech itch it could be used in someplace where not full browser is needed, especially if you are control content generation. - TV screens UI - some game engines embed chrome embed thing ( steam store page kind) - some electron apps / lighter cross platform engine - less sucky QML - i think weechat or sth has own xml bashed app froamework thing (so could be useful to people wanting to build everything app app platform - much richer markdown format ?

It’s called WML/WAP

I think we can do better than a 15x15 text window

WML/WAP got a bad rap I think, largely because of the way it was developed and imposed/introduced.

But it was not insane, and it represented a clarity of thought that then went missing for decades. Several things that were in WML are quite reminiscent of interactions designed in web components today.

Gopher today (and even more Gemini) can do almost anything Wap did but without being a dead platform.

Have you read the WML 1.x spec? Let alone WML 2.x which never really happened. It had much more interesting scope than Gemini does.

Gemini is not a good or sensible design. It's reactionary more than it is informed.

I want to experiment with windows PE for that kind of use there used to be lite windows “distro” bashed on pe I used to love playing with
