Neat!

Another way to achieve something like this is Cosmopolitan C Compiler, Actually Portable Executables. For example, Redbean. (Jart, all of your certs are bad! I can't open your websites any more!) http://justine.lol/

It's a binary that can run on Windows, Mac, Linux, and it is also a zip file. The application can read the zip file and on several systems (not Windows), it can self-modify the zip file. Including hosting SQLite inside the ZIP file.

I have been meaning to use Justine's RedBean to build a "project app" (kind of like what the OP describes, but leaning more towards something like Datasette). It would contain the data, the paper(s), and the UI for interacting with the data (and supporting scripts or R that can be run with other tools). I just like the idea of a portable single-file scientific artifact.

(also another call for jart to fix their certs!)

I'm kind of exhausted...

I want to sick Claude on porting tsnet to a C/C++ library that can run in a fat binary Actually Portable Executable.

And then I want to use tailscale share / tailscale funnel APEs for... everything...

Like... everything. So many things.
