Mavo

A new, approachable way to create Web applications

Mavo launched on May 16, 2017 with 7 votes, #1,225 of 3,229 launches that month. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

What it does

Create complex, reactive, persistent web applications by just writing HTML & CSS, without a single line of JavaScript and no server backend. Developed in the Haystack Group at MIT CSAIL and led by Lea Verou . Mavo uses familiar HTML-based syntax and can be used even by people with no programming experience. This is not wishful thinking; it’s published, peer-reviewed research . Mavo’s core functionality can be learned in a few minutes , and is enough to create a vast variety of applications that manage, store, and transform small-scale data. Design your application with the same design freedom and tools as a static webpage . Mavo works with your markup, not against it. Mavo has been designed…from mavo.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
