My hardest problem with this is a struggle to tell people about something that you know isn't done. Something you know has bugs because you made it and you know all its flaws before they even think of interacting, and personally I get wary about telling people about projects in this state. I'm not trying to little myself but on some level I fear they'll use it find a bug and write it off as broken and me as bad especially online.


Anyways, in light of the post here's what I've been working on: apps.nektro.net/

It's a suite of common-use PWAs made to serve as web replacements for the default applications that people expect to come with their devices these days. The project is on GitHub here and I work on them all the time with more apps and service workers coming soon!

Awesome Job! I really like the way you structured your application code, everything is easy to follow. You did all this sans framework! I can't wait for that Emulator and gamepad tho!

Future me: just pushed the Service Worker update so all the current (and future with time) apps work offline after their first visit!

Thanks, I'm glad you like them! I actually didn't use any frameworks, it's all custom built :)


The emulator (at least in the beginning) is going to be for NES ROMs on the web since I already wrote a file parser a while back, but haven't written the app code to run them.

And the gamepad app is largely based on html5gamepad.com but different presentation and on https with the rest of the apps
