I really like this approach, and think it should be used more!

In a previous experiment, I created a simple webpage which renders media stored in the URL. This way, it's able to store and render images, audio, and even simple webpages and games. URLs can get quite long, so can store quite a bit of data.

Very cool, reminds me of the library of Babel (of which you also made a version! [1]).

I made something similar a while ago, the Hdd of Babel [2], which contains all possible files(*) , and wrote down some thoughts on it [3].

I really like how it makes us think about the nature of information.

I think it does! uv add [0] adds a dependency to your pyproject.toml, as well as your environment.

If you change your pyproject.toml file manually, uv sync [1] will update your environment accordingly.

If I read [1] correctly, it seems it checks against lockfile, not pyproject.toml. So it seems like it won't help if I change pyproject.toml manually. Which is a big inconveniece, if so.

Whatever, I think I'll try it for myself later today. It's long overdue.

Most uv commands will (unless otherwise instructed like e.g. with --frozen) by default update your lockfile to be in sync with your pyproject.toml.

I created https://floatynotes.app a while ago, which might fit your list :). It provides virtual sticky notes, using the new Document Picture-in-Picture API.

hey this is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Nice, I had a similar idea a while ago! I wanted to support other media types, such as images, audio and webpages. It was a really fun experiment!

Very cool!

Good points. Additionally, PiP is also possible in most browsers.

Looks cool! I created something similar a while ago, which allows you to store any kind of data in the url (web pages, audio, games,...).

It broke 3256x880 (225 kByte) PNG image, drastically ripping it to 407x110 (3.4 kByte) JPEG image.
