Social media app for small friends?

As a PWA it probably will not be possible. I don't know of any fedi software that is designed to run entirely without a back-end of some kind. Maybe Wildebeest will fit the bill for you, but it uses Cloudflare's Supercloud as its back end.
Cloudflare Pages, Worker Bindings example
1 project | /r/qwik | 19 Feb 2023

Does anyone have a simple example of a Qwik app running on Cloudflare Pages that uses a binding to KV Store or D1? I know that Cloudflare recently released Wildebeest https://github.com/cloudflare/wildebeest but I'm looking for something much smaller for learning purposes. Thanks!

Official install guide is underlying that all the Cloudflare's offerings are still a disjointed bunch. You need to enable billing in 3 separate products in 3 different UIs (while only Images requires an actual paid plan, Access requires a credit card to onboard and Workers Unbound is probably a good idea to enable right away).
Why so much management/onboarding complexity if you really want to compete with AWS as a general-purpose cloud?

PysimpleGUI
10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2023

Textual[0] does this for CLI apps. That’s not for full GUI apps, but it’s very DOM-like, uses CSS selectors, etc. and a cool option when it meets your needs.
