"Glide is technically a no-code tool aimed at businesses, but you get one user-based published app for free, and you can have more "private" apps if you're truly keeping it to your household or friend group. Each full-fledged app can have 10 users and up to 25,000 rows, which should probably be enough for most uses.
I do wish there was a "prosumer" kind of account that billed for less than $828 per year. If you want more than one (relatively) small-scale apps, there are alternatives, like Google's AppSheet (included in most paid Google Workspace accounts). But most are just as business-oriented, and none have struck me as elegant a tool as Glide.
As mentioned, my primary use for a sheet-based app is to make searching, filtering, reading, and editing that sheet far easier. In the case of my takeout app, that meant being able to search anything—a specific restaurant, "tacos," a quadrant of the District of Columbia. And a sorting option for when I added a restaurant, so I can find the place I added while a friend was recommending it."

@mook OFC I do differenciate between "#WebApps" and #Websites to the point that #AnimateJS et. al. are the de-facto successor to #Flash as #Adobe literally supported it for that reason.
- Then again, I think these techniques should be delegated to their specific use-cases (noone expects browser game slites like #Miniclip to be #accessible!) instead.
For a lot of of cases, #JavaScript is mostly unnecessary fluff.
I find it espechally insulting when stuff like #Mastodon prevents people from even looking up a profile or post at all cuz that's static content at the time of loading it and there's no legitimate reason to just offer a "lite" UI that just displays an otherwise hidden by #CSS & #JS banner that says sth. like: "this is just a lite preview. Certain functionality will not work, like commenting, boosting or liking. Please use a 3rd party client or activate JavaScript and reload the page if you want to use that."
- But I guess that's something Developers at Mastodon are unwilling to accept cuz they have a nonchalant attitude of thinking they are perfect #TechBros!
The newly published @w3c #CandidateRecommendation "Device Posture API" allows #WebApps to request and be notified of changes of the posture of a device #timetoimplement
https://www.w3.org/TR/device-posture/
Device posture refers to its physical position, detected via sensors. With foldable devices, understanding posture is key for responsive design, especially when the device isn’t fully flat.

Is “web designer” a role anybody fills these days? By that I mean someone who conceives the UX and layout and aesthetic, makes and iterates on mockups (on paper, in Figma, with code, doesn’t matter), and whose deliverable is HTML and CSS (complete with transitions & keyframes, media & container queries, custom properties, layers…).
