The browser is the place.

Small tools for working from the browser.

WebBasis is a project lab for browser-native tools, workspaces, references, publishing systems, and strange useful things for the web. Everything should be easy to open, easy to understand, and light enough to carry forward.

Doctrine // principles

01. Own your stack

Prefer files, standards, and pages you can move without asking permission.

02. Leave no trace

Make things that can be saved, copied, deleted, archived, or remixed.

03. Ship small

Build the smallest useful version, publish it, then improve it in public.

04. Build for longevity

Make pages that will still make sense when the current tools are gone.
