    Your repo and tutorial are really cool! But do you have any sort of interactive "out-of-the-box" demo that doesn't require me to write code to call the library (online or downloada…

    In particular it looks like Firefox Fenix/Preview (or possibly Reference Browser), not Fennec (regular Android). Only Fenix and Reference have bottom URL/tab bars. Fenix has a purp…

    About half a year ago, I tried to merge two forks of a single program which had diverged by several years. I tried a Git merge, got halfway through conflict resolution, stashed my …
