This is really neat: a version of WordPress that runs entirely in your browser on your computer. See also Planet WordPress on this. "There's no sign-up, no hosting plan, and no domain decision standing between you and getting started... This isn't a temporary environment meant to be discarded. It's a WordPress that stays with you... sites on my.WordPress.net are private by default and not accessible from the public internet... This turns WordPress into a personal workspace." I've tried it and it works. It uses local storage for files and an SQLite database. My CList app is built the same way, but this is much more sophisticated. "Thanks to incredible advances in WebAssembly (WASM), we can spin up a web server, a database (SQLite or MariaDB), and a full WordPress installation inside your browser in about 30 seconds. Instantly. No server needed." Via Alan Levine.
