Noteback: lightweight local tool to iterate on HTML docs with Claude
Noteback is a small, local-only tool that makes it easy to quickly edit and refine HTML documents using Claude AI. Nothing leaves your computer — all files stay on your own machine. It suits solo makers who want a simple loop of editing and previewing HTML without heavy setup.
Noteback focuses on one specific workflow: using Claude to repeatedly tweak an HTML document and see the results quickly. Because it runs entirely on your own device, no files or content are sent to any external server or cloud service. This matters if you're working with private content or simply prefer to keep things self-contained.
The tool is deliberately lightweight — no large frameworks, no complex configuration. It targets the common scenario where you have a single HTML file and want to use Claude to polish it through several quick rounds of edits. Think of it as a small helper that tightens the edit-preview-edit loop when working with Claude on HTML pages.
