I'm working on a way to make some pretty advanced software in a single HTML file.

The idea is simple: store state you'd normally store in a separate database in the document itself.

Then, also give the the document a bunch of powerful APIs granted to it by its host:

(1) Sync changes to the document with live collaborators

(2) Extract data from the document using a simple JSON map config

(3) Boot up a full content CMS from the same simple JSON map config

(4) More features added every month

I'm really excited with even the tiny bit of early traction I've gotten. About a dozen paying users so far.

Long term, I'd love to have this file type (vanilla HTML file + some extra features granted by the host) become a file type other companies offer tools and their own hosting for (like Wordpress).
