Hyperclay
last updated: Aug 18, 2025
Very fun idea, to have a node server that serves editable HTML documents and saves them if you update them.
The tech: Hyperclay is a NodeJS server and frontend JS library that allows HTML pages to update their DOM and then replace their own .html source with the updated version.
Imagine clicking a checkbox, which adds the
checked
attribute to its element, then using Hyperclay to globally persist this version ofdocument.body.outerHTML
, so that it's there next time someone visits the page. There's automatic versioning and read/write permissioning.
I also very much love the hand-drawn aesthetic of the site
