  I'm intrigued about the "Trip Planner" being a top-level app. Only tried it in a very surface level way, but the recent trips I've planned (Ottawa for 6 people, Cancun for ~20) have ended up as an ugly mishmash of spreadsheets + google maps saved locations list + random chatgpt sessions.It feels like there's an unmet need there for managing something more flexible than a minute by minute itinerary, maybe like a list of must-do and want-do activities and dining options, with the system able to figure out what is open when and has other constraints like the weather, costs, what activities pair well together, which group members some things are more or less suited to, what the contact details are for things like a private tour, etc etc.

  As a kid in the late 1980s, my dad got me a PC (an Olivetti IBM clone to be precise).I distinctly remember that there were separate apps for spreadsheets (Lotus 1-2-3 [0]), charts (Harvard Graphics [1]) and word processing (Chi Writer [2]).And now we just have a basic office suite for free in one website.0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_1-2-31 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Graphics2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChiWriter

  If folks like this kind of thing, I discovered https://bento.page/ from a HN post and have been using it off and on for the past few months. It has a much larger featureset but is specifically focused on presentations (for now!). Unlike this project, the editor and content embed themselves in an html file, so you aren't dependent on the host site existing to serve the editor.

  Tell Claude or whatever to read https://tinylittleoffice.com/llms.txt and it will then be able to generate URLs that render documents.Here's a deck I had it generate about how the URL format works: https://bit.ly/4yRBc1v

  I’m waiting until somebody vibe code a proper desktop apps to provide more diversity than MS vs Open Office. just like I see options blossomed in the “Creative Suite” field.But maybe I’m just one of those who don’t like web office apps and/or google docs related workflows.

  FYI: OpenStreetMap seems to be blocking the site with a 403 error (suggesting maybe it's pulling too much data from OSM's servers?): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Blocked_tiles

  Is there no way to open saved documents? Like it won't open a .csv, .txt or .ics file for example?

  > free office suite where your document is inside the link and easy to shareHow is it easy to share megabytes encoded in a link?

  The Animator app is nice and simple, I would like to have something like it as a standalone app.

  can I do a PR for live collaboration? to be transparent, I'm going to use my own project puter.js for webrtc, but the project is open-source (https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter)

  I like stuff like this. Have you considered real time collaboration? Your not to far off from this with something like web sockets.Edit: realized it looks like the data is stored in the url, which is a neat approach but I guess its not really that close.

  I'd wish LibreOffice would have collab-editing by default for everything, as an option.

  This is so well done!The only bug I found is that the presentation previews in dark mode have the text as black on a dark background, when it should be white (matching the canvas text).

  I was musing on something like this. There is non zero chance that some US administration disables GSuite / Office365 for all of us living in shithole countries.

  What was the recent site here on HN that let you do this but with signs and QR codes?

  If you add a PDF annotation to this, it’d cover 100% of my (admittedly generic) needs. I know how big of an ask that can (used to?) be.
