"Well, actually," it is usually not just HTML, but I am with you on liking these single-file apps. Security is complicated because these pages often rely on importing online packages, which can get poisoned in the blink of an eye.

Great point.

The unique thing about HTML apps is that there could be a "directory download" of say the best 1000 apps every month for people to run locally with imports also downloaded and security audited beforehand. That would be ideal.

GreasyFork checks for security problems and best practices in their scripts with community moderation a large component. https://share.gemini.google/VwomSQkChNWS

How I see it, there could be a code freeze period (quarantine) and if no issues arise, the HTML is bundled into the 1000 monthly thing.
