Super excited to share Launchlet, my first open source project!
It's a javascript/css launcher that you can use as a bookmarklet, browser extension, or as a module in your own project.
The compose interface makes it easy to create your own. I used Svelte for the front-end programming and the almighty @remotestorage to save data in the browser and sync between devices – no database and works offline.
Not sure how people will react, hoping for the best 🙂
