Readme
A running list of things I want to build on Val Town, hosted in a Val Town readme.
- A bare bones CMS to edit markdown files hosted on a github (or val town readmes eventually)
- A set of Vals for interacting with github repos via Octokit (useful for the above CMS idea)
- A full json-server like implementation for quickly generating stub APIs based on json/valtown blob data (begun)
- An implementation of Convert bookmarklet to Chrome extension
- A tool for generating an NPM package from a Val or set of Vals (something like [dnt]- [ ] (https://github.com/denoland/dnt/))
- An email handler for forwarding emails to Tana
- A component library (this would be a wild swing for me)
- A val to get a dependency graph of a val(s) (started here by rlesser)
- A single val that wraps a FeTS client to the API for saving a couple of lines of boilerplate
- A val for generating OpenAPI specs from jsdoc comments within vals (sort of like this npm package)
- Conways game of life
pst, if you want to see stuff I would love to see built right into Val Town, here you go

👆 This is a val. Vals are TypeScript snippets of code, written in the browser and run on our servers. Create scheduled functions, email yourself, and persist small pieces of data — all from the browser.
