DocuApps: Ampleforth Documents as Applications
summary
Claims that Ampleforth can build apps are validated by two concrete apps: Telescreen, a presentation system where the slides and the app itself are transcluded documents so a presentation is a document composed of nested documents, and Ozymandias, a rudimentary computational notebook whose numbers update live as the content is edited. The implementation shows that self-contained persistent representation and document nesting are required to avoid silos, and the prototypes work as existence proofs.
