Proposal: limit access of these camera networks to local jurisdiction. Just like rip-stop fabric and cell walls, boundaries are required for stability, and making it where federal agencies have eyes everywhere is far too dangerous.
The first reference (for the definition) also links directly to a blog post created by OP.
Edit: Actually 4 of the references on that wiki page link to either OPs blog, YouTube, or projects. I can see why this article was declined, however broadly an article could exist for this concept if there were other sources to build on.
mdwiki [0] would probably qualify. Disclaimer, I created+released it in 2013. I always jokingly called it the first true single-page application - as it was a single, offline-capable .html file with all images, icons, styles etc. inlined in the same .html file.
Ilograph diagrams can be exported to standalone HTML files (like this example: [0]). Coincidentally, they also have slides (kind of) and clock in at around 560KB.
Thanks for taking the initiative to create this page! I was disappointed with the search feature github had regarding searching these type of files.
Here are some more such tools I feel you might find interesting (or most likely you might already know them) but might be worth having in a single place as a list.
Nash is stand alone note as HTML. Source: https://github.com/keepworking/nash
I recommend nash for when i feel people might get overwhelmed with tiddlywiki.
htpad: Handwritten scratch pad saves stuff to SVG.
Source: https://github.com/akissinger/htpad
I just use this for drawing on screen since teams annotation sucks.
Minimal PWA template. Source: https://github.com/chr15m/minimal-pwa
A minimal template that should ideally work, but i wasn’t able to get it working with marimo wasm notebooks.
Currently, my focus is to use python either using pyscript or hopefully just use marimo to have python apps for simple things.
I don’t want to learn js and avoided this side longer than i would have wanted. But python WASM ecosystem has grown significantly to a point where i feel investing time in building these tools.
Currently, marimo is having issues with the completely offline part but hopefully, that gets fixed!
We used to have these back in the days of Windows XP in the form of “HTML Applications”, though I recall them being atrocious from a security perspective.
Just because it's computer-assisted doesn't mean the computer is doing the teaching (any more than saying a gun killed someone). The people behind it are the teachers, and the computer-assisting is a way to amplify that teacher's reach (like a YouTube video).
Your GP comment was borderline against the site guidelines, since you basically went straight to shallow dismissal, flamebait, and generic ideological battle. I didn't respond with a moderation comment because I understand this topic brings up strong feelings and there's a lot to say on all sides.
Your reply here, though, is flat-out against the site guidelines and it's not ok to post like that to HN, least of all in someone's launch thread (whether it's a YC startup or not).
No more of this please. You're welcome to make your substantive points thoughtfully, but if you'd first review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the intended spirit of this site more to heart, we'd appreciate it.
> your previous comment was a personal attack as well:
Brother, I meant what I wrote.
That said, I'll cool off for a bit. I'm not here to rain on anyone's parade but as you said, products like this stir extremely strong feelings on my end. I find the framing offensive, exploitative, and dehumanizing.
Personal attacks aren't ok whether you meant what you wrote or not.
I get that you feel strongly about this - probably most of us share these feelings in some form; I know I do. We just need to talk about the topic thoughtfully and respectfully, and not assume that someone with different views doesn't care about kids (for example) or doesn't share the same concerns.
Let's put it this way: I appreciate the thoughtful component of your comments - we just need you to cool off on the attacking component.
Clearly we have different definitions of what constitutes an attack, that said, I know you're fighting an eternal uphill battle on HN so I'll rest my case.
I will say that I find some of this kind of moderation very confusing. I feel that I often see folks going way harder than anything I've said today and there's no moderation hand-slaps visible. Possibly the sensitivity is greater here since it's a Launch HN thread, so I appreciate that. But please take my feedback for what it's worth and reflect on it a bit.
> very confusing. I feel that I often see folks going way harder than anything I've said today and there's no moderation hand-slaps visible.
You're quite right and of course it's confusing. But it has a simple, unsatisfying explanation: we can't read everything that gets posted here, let alone moderate it all. There's far too much for us to read even 10% of what gets posted here.
If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.
Btw, I'm going to try an experiment and respond to your GP comment with a non-moderation reply, just because I find the topic interesting, and also in the hope of communicating what I said above: the thoughtful component of the conversation is fine. (No obligation to reply of course.)

I had logged off to chill out a bit so missed that you wrote this. Sorry to admit my ignorance but I don't know what this means? I appreciate your engaging with me fwiw.
I'm sucked back into work for most of the rest of the day so if you don't see a reply from me that's why, I'm not off stewing in a huff.
