This is a valid Single File App (though not a Single File Web App)

What's the difference? It's going through the web.

A "web app" must run in a browser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application).

I guess this would qualify as a Single File App (though maybe not a Single File Web App).

This is my current personal project.

The backend is multiple files but the frontend is a single file SPA. It loads with state restoration and LCP in about 105ms.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned slingcode: https://slingcode.net/
By far the coolest single file web app I've seen.

I like simonw's: https://tools.simonwillison.net/
I vibecode a bunch of similar tools I use, inspired by Simon, and have them stashed where I can get to them.

Some of these are indeed Single File Web Apps (though a few of them contain links to external js and such, which would disqualify those from being a SFWA).

Sure, but that stuff could easily be embedded into the file itself. I think the spirit is still there.

If you count the scripts that could be embedded, any React app could be a single file. I don't think that matches the spirit, though.

Why not, Dave? In fact, a number of my own vibe coded tools are single file React in HTML.
Disclaimer: I am not competent in React. It's what Claude generated by default and I ran with it so I could poke at the code and learn a little more about React.

Agreed.
