About Tiny-Apps

Tiny-Apps is a collection of small, free browser-based tools that don't necessarily have anything to do with one another.

Some of them may be weird because they approach a familiar problem from a slightly unusual angle. Others are weird simply because they don't seem to belong to any particular category. There is no grand taxonomy hiding behind the scenes. They are just apps that happen to live in the same place.

There is, however, one important thing they have in common: the work happens in your browser.

A Tiny-App must not send your data to a server or ask a server to perform the actual computation on its behalf. This also means that the apps don't need cookies or their own databases for storing your information outside the browser.

That requirement puts some limits on the kind of Tiny-Apps that can be built here. That's intentional. Within those limits, there aren't many rules.

The rest is mostly a matter of time, curiosity, and whatever happens to seem interesting enough to build.
