Show HN: Widget.json and Widget Construction Set

I like it, really cool idea - but you badly need a catalogue of some kind. Even just a set of links to example widgets on your website that the first time user can copy and paste would do it - better would be something searchable in the app. Cool tho, will have a play. Good work

Thanks! I agree about the catalog. I expanded on the thought here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33780128 tl;dr - couldn't make economics work but we felt the tech is still useful for DIYers.

Hey - I didn't necessarily mean making one that works financially. Just for showing a few examples that you can get started with.

If the marketing page had like 5-10 simple examples next to their source code and a link to try them then that'd do it...
