A New Way to Build for the Web

" summary

A visual web-front-end language replaces text sources with a direct AST-backed editor called Totle that edits UI, formulas, and workflows instead of code. Demo wires a public news API into a repeated list, binds an input to a search variable, debounces API calls at 300 ms, and uses the formulator and workflows and formulas split to separate pure computations from side effects. The editor, its package system, and the site itself are all built in Totle and run interactively.
