Five apps in two kilobytes

I just downloaded a minimalist to-do app that was 423.3 megabytes. Honestly, it’s great. Certainly better than five apps stuffed into 1/200th the size…

I built a minimal multi-app that fits in 2048 bytes. It has a simple calculator, mirror (using your webcam), notepad, to-do list, and world clock.

Some notes:

• Press the Back button in your browser to go back to the main app list.
• Your notes and tasks are saved in local storage.
• As you might imagine, this app is very bare-bones, and lots of features are missing.

Like some of my other web minification challenges, I relied on RegPack and Terser for compression. I couldn’t have hit 2048 bytes without these.

This was originally my submission to the very cool Taper online literary magazine. It was made to jab at how bloated some software has become. Taper (reasonably) rejected it because of my cursed minification, so I thought I’d post it here.
