Field notes
The page describes a collection that can read apps from a local folder or Google Drive, with working apps, history, and saved data kept on the user's machine. It names three example tools: a Universal Scalability Law explorer, a loan planner, and a Splunk-results tool with its own SQLite storage. The stated app formats include WebAssembly modules and custom pages; the site also links to a guide, specification, and security model.
