haha yep i had the same thought when trying out your scrapp.

we have a design that solves this, but haven't implemented it yet. it's high on the list of obvious shortcomings, and your feedback makes me wanna fix it :)

the browser tab will now have the name of the scrapp instead of just "Scrappy"

Great app! I implemented this simple aspect ratio calculator - scrappy.jrcpl.us/s/dd73bf9f-d...

panning the canvas with two fingers on a trackpad will no longer trigger chrome's swipe-to-go-back gesture.

hahaha

that's super helpful actually. thanks!

iCloud passwords is what i rely on (even though having to input the stupid 2FA code every time i restart my computer has gotten old fast)

they are still supporting it with bug-fixes and chromium updates, right? i don't really feel a need for more features. i suspect i'll end up with zen for snappiness and arc for my chromium needs

please let me know how you find zen!

maybe there's a really good, hidden reason they don't

scrapps open visible at the center of the screen.

before they could sometimes open at the edge of the viewport, which was confusing.

a bar at the top that lets you navigate to your list of scrapps, rename your scrapp, and share your creation more easily.

(note to self: next time you launch something, make sure there's a prominent share button from the start)

basic touchscreen support! You can now pan and zoom and tap buttons on your phone or tablet.

many scrapps make the most sense on a phone, so Scrappy felt incomplete without at least basic support.

we'll be sharing more in the coming days. anything in particular you'd like to see?

that's all @jrcpl.us! it's cute isn't it
May 21, 2025 at 9:55 AM
would love to see your ideas!

and thanks, it's really helpful to learn what you are missing :)
May 20, 2025 at 7:25 PM
can't wait to see what you make!

We believe that a prototype is worth more than a thousand mockups, so not only can you read about Scrappy — you can try it yourself!

Read more here, try it, and please share any thoughts or scrapps you make with us :)

We've been driven by

- a wish to democratize computing, which Hypercard promised but never realized

- a curiosity about how modern canvas UI, realtime collaboration, and effortless link sharing changes that promise

- a frustration with the incredible complexity of the modern software stack
