I built a serverless SaaS no-code/low-code platform which could be of interest: https://saasufy.com/ You can build your entire app inside a plain HTML file which can be deployed online with something like GitHub pages. I've built a few apps with it including a real-time chat app which supports both group chat, private 1-on-1 chat with an account system (with access control), OAuth via GitHub... The entire app is only 260 lines of HTML markup and fully serverless (no custom back end code). Access controls are defined via the control panel. All the app's code is in this file: https://github.com/Saasufy/chat-app/blob/main/index.html You can try the app here (use the 'Log in with GitHub' link): https://saasufy.github.io/chat-app/index.html Saasufy comes with around 20 generic declarative HTML components which can be assembled in complex ways:

https://github.com/Saasufy/saasufy-components?tab=readme-ov-... There is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how the components work but once you understand it, you can build apps very quickly. The chat app only took me a few hours to build. I've also been helping a friend to build an application related to HR with Saasufy and I managed to get the basic search functionality working with only 160 lines of HTML markup.
In Software Infrastructure 2.0: A Wishlist (2021)
Interesting. I wrote a similar plain HTML/WebComponent-based front end for my new no-code/low-code serverless platform https://saasufy.com/ It lets you build just about any data-driven application using only a handful of declarative generic HTML components: https://github.com/Saasufy/saasufy-components?tab=readme-ov-... I built a chat app with both group chat and private chat (with access control) using only plain HTML; only ~250 lines of HTML markup for the entire thing, no front end or back end code was used: https://github.com/Saasufy/chat-app/blob/main/index.html You can use it here - All hosted on GitHub pages: https://saasufy.github.io/chat-app/ It would be great to add support for other front end tech like this. I kind of like HTMX (especially as it's declarative). This HTMZ looks interesting. I'd like something with a big communit

y and more components to handle more advanced cases (e.g. higher level components like calendars).
In Show HN: htmz – a low power tool for HTML
The no-code serverless platform I built achieves this behind the scenes via a real-time CRUD API: https://saasufy.com/ The key is to perform updates on fields individually. Normally this would not be viable using HTTP due to headers/overheads (too many fields per resource to dedicate an entire HTTP request per-field) but it is viable over WebSockets as each frame is very lightweight and can even be batched. Also, being able to tie together the life of the connection to the subscription is handy to ensure that no real-time updates can be missed. I built a chat app with authentication + access control with it (you can log in with GitHub at the bottom): https://saasufy.github.io/chat-app/ Only 120 lines of HTML markup (web components), no custom JS. See GitHub repo here for the 'source': https://github.com/Saasufy/chat-app
In You don't need a CRDT to build a collaborative experience
Web Components are highly versatile. I built a chat app with GitHub OAuth login, blockchain-based authentication and access control using only 120 lines of HTML in a single .html file with no custom code, no framework, no custom server-side code. It can run anywhere: https://github.com/Saasufy/chat-app/blob/main/index.html#L23... You can try the app here (if you have a GitHub account): https://saasufy.github.io/chat-app/ The backend is serverless built using Saasufy.com - The platform/startup I'm working on currently: https://saasufy.com/ An effective approach I've found is to create components which consume slotted <template> elements to produce HTML that can be fully customized and injected with data they loaded from a back end. This allows you to create components which are declaratively bound to specific back end resources.
In HTML Web Components
The no-code (HTML markup only) SaaS platform I'm working on seems to fit well with this philosophy: https://www.saasufy.com/ As a demo, I was able to build a chat app with it: https://saasufy.github.io/chat-app/ You can log in via GitHub OAuth (also implemented with HTML tags). Less than 120 lines of HTML markup in total for the entire functionality. The source is here: https://github.com/Saasufy/chat-app There is no custom backend logic, all the logic is in that repo as HTML + CSS.
