Love seeing more vanilla projects and tooling around standards. Long live the web. Edit: I’ve been thinking about offering an overlay UI for a web based game and this could be a good fit for that. I’ll give it a spin later and let y’all know.

Thanks! Definitely interested in the game overlay use case.

My gut says you'll need want to hook into custom render functions and theme config to map to your game styles, since it's going to look very different than the standard OOTB options.

The best file to use as a starting reference is here: https://github.com/runtypelabs/persona/blob/main/packages/wi...

If you run into anything, GH issues are welcome!

when will WASM integration become widely accepted? we need realtime canvas draw like oldschool desktop ui/ux.

IMO there's a lot more we can do around hooking into the DOM directly, with more efficient data formats over the wire, before we absolutely need WASM

We'd like to experiment more with this but haven't got their yet. Just some internal prototyping

Practically speaking, what would this mean for a designer? I’ve been building web apps and websites with Claude Code. Not clear what this would do for me relative to all the other things out there.

If you're building apps that you want to surface as a "hybrid" UX - both conversational _and_ traditional UI - WebMCP gives you an elegant means of building for both agents and humans at the same time.

If you're building an AI app with a conversational front door, Persona helps you build your experience from a great starting point that already works, and we're constantly iterating on it to keep pace with frontier AI experiences. So you can just implement + configure/theme it instead of trying to start from scratch.

Ah I think I get it. I am more using Claude Code to do frontend design as a replacement for Figma when I’m designing products. Not really working on agent ui.

Sounds like this wouldn’t really be a match for what I need. Thanks though!
