What if portal had an always-on-top mode, similar to reveal stickers? :thinking_face:

This would be sooo nice. The first thing I tried with the reveal stickers is to shove a portal instance into it 😅

Crazy talk, who would do such a thing! 😏

Nice!! Is this a thing?

Hunnn I guess I will create a custom tap list (per the docs) and create my own “UI” using it (the sticking things will just be on the top). I love the freedom I have with Portal, such a amazing tool, thanks for this work of love, @djblue, you rock

I haven't released a version of the https://github.com/djblue/portal/releases/download/0.23.0/portal-darwin-x64-0.23.0.zip app since https://github.com/djblue/portal/releases/tag/0.23.0 and it was only for OSX. I do plan on picking it back up again in the future but it's mostly a POC for now. I do think if your use case is watching an atom, you don't need the electron app 👍

Hi @djblue, Do you know of any example of using Portal as a client-side library? Is it something you'd encourage? I'm playing with the idea of statically rendering a page with Portal UI elements.

I think that would be awesome! I don't have an example. Would be curious about what type of api / ux you would expect?

Daniel Slutsky06:03:41

Curious too. I'm trying to make it work as a dependency in a simple Reagent app. If that works, then it could be nice to make it work with some static data format representing web pages, e.g. https://github.com/babashka/scittle. On the user experience side, I'm experimenting with different ways to express that "This thing should be rendered that way." (for example, "This thing should be considered a Vega spec."). I'll share some basic proof-of-concept and video soon.

Just a little update regarding the hope of using Portal as a library: • couldn't make it work yet (struggled with some dependency conflicts and my general webdev ignorarnce) • there is a nice discussion going on at #visual-tools about sharing components between tools: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C02V9TL2G3V/p1647281661306149?thread_ts=1647170441.434869&amp;cid=C02V9TL2G3V
