   1 3 77 9.8 TypeScript

   Generate shareable apps in seconds with the most forkable AI app generator, deployed as single page app

   

   I haven't posted it here yet b/c it's not show ready, but we have been building this vision -- I like to think of it as an e-bike for the mind.

   https://vibes.diy/

   We had a lot of fun last night with Vibecode Karaoke, where you code an app at the same time as you sing a song.

3. Decker

   2 11 1,281 9.3 C

   A multimedia sketchpad

   

   Some programs, games, and zines made with Decker: https://itch.io/games/tag-decker

   Unlike LiveCode (or so far as I am aware HyperNext), Decker is free and open-source: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/Decker

   I'd be happy to go into more detail if you like.

4. gcodepreview

   3 70 55 7.8 TeX

   OpenPythonSCAD library for moving a tool in lines and arcs so as to model how a part would be cut using G-Code or described as a DXF.

   

   Yeah, that sums things up well --- the problem of course is what happens when one works on a project which blurs boundaries.

   I had to drop into BlockSCAD to rough out an arc algorithm for my current project:

   https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview

   (see the subsubsection "Arcs for toolpaths and DXFs")

   Jupyter Notebooks come close to allowing a seamless blending of text and algorithm, but they are sorely missing on the graphic design and vector graphics front --- which now that I write that, makes me realize that that is the big thing which I miss when trying to use them. Makes me wish for JuMP, a Jupyter Notebook which incorporates METAPOST --- if it also had an interactive drawing mode, it would be perfect.... (for my needs).

5. thorium-nova

   4 8 351 9.1 TypeScript

   Next-generation Spaceship Controls

   

   Sadly, most of them are lost to time. There's one that I'm aware of at https://archive.org/details/hypercard_voyager-engineer-new is just one station of about 15 from one of the ships.

   https://thoriumsim.com is a modern incarnation of the same software.

6. ruffle

   5 489 16,869 9.9 Rust

   A Flash Player emulator written in Rust

   

   https://ruffle.rs/ recently came to my attention when I needed to resuscitate a back into tool that had been completely built in Macromedia products
