Stele is a runtime for a category of software that hasn’t existed since Flash died: single-file, local-first, interactive, portable units of software that open like documents and run like apps.
It supports three archetypes — fully self-contained, server-backed client-views (a portal in a file), and cryptographically-paired multi-party artifacts (think dual-signature contracts or two-player games). Live on the web at stele.au; a desktop installer is available with full file association.
