Putting web apps outside of a browser is one of the best ideas ever. That's why Boop is built with javascript, with all of that webpage-on-desktop goodness.

First of all, let me apologize for the new account. I'm a long time lurker, but my account was stuck with my old Twitter handle, so I had to deactivate then re-sign in to update that. Second, meet Boop! It's a super simple place for developers to perform simple operations on plain text. I started working on it when I realized I used to just look up "JSON Formatter", "remove slashes", or "base64 decode online"; then paste whatever I needed to read in whatever the first result was, not thinking about the security implications. Boop is not really a code editor, and it's not really a notes app. It's more of a place to just read and transform text. It's a safe place of transit for you to experiment in. It comes loaded with the scripts that I use the most, and you can very easily extend it with a super simple Javascript API. And best of all, it's free, and open source! Thanks for looking at Boop, I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed building it. On to the next update!

Amazing. No more terminal command for various encoding and can finally remove all those bookmarks for online formatters. Great stuff!

Would be awesome to have this persist the text somewhere. I can see myself using this to maintain gists or long living notes

Great! Is there a repo of scripts? Or plan to do something like that?

@leech Yes! Since the app is open source, you can see all the scripts here: https://github.com/IvanMathy/Boo...

@okatbest ah great! And it automatically updates from the list? Or a new build is required? I'm thinking on sharing scripts with the community

@okatbest Why is there a contradiction on your site "Embedding Javascript code in a native shell is one of the least efficient ways to build an application and only a fool would want that." and after it "Embedding Javascript code in a native shell is one of the most efficient ways to build an application and only a fool wouldn't want that." ? (even so, a great product)

@jpnheartop Bit of a joke! There is a bit of tension in the macOS world between native developers and web-based (like Electron) applications. Since Boop is somewhere in the middle, I thought I'd poke fun at both sides.

@nikosef8ias Sorry about that, it's a native app so it cannot support Linux out of the box. There's been requests for Linux/Windows versions so stay on the lookout!

@okatbest I think you could use gtk for the ui and have native apps for all 3 oses with little effort
