Actually a pity it doesn't work on the non-mobile; many of my computers have webcams now and it is kinda convenient to have this (and of course, you ought to always be able to bypass the camera as a user. really perhaps it should be part of the file picker itself but lol those things are so overloaded already)

#13This is a site that shows the camera feed full screen and inverts in with css https://nega.radioac.dev/ I hacked it together in half an hour to give people a way to look at the uninverted version of my inverted analogue photos with their phones at exhibitions. most people were more excited to play with it on their phone than by the photos I took days making. :'( [edit oops this javascript ]

#16...why is a markup language for hypertext able to control my device's camera? Why have all the relevant standards bodies associated with this language and protocol gotten on board with turning a markup display language into a full-blown OS?

The alternative to standards is every browser vendor doing their own thing, and "this website only works on IE". Remember the bad old days of the web where every bank required Windows because their UI was implemented with ActiveX? Standards killed that and now you can view your bank account on Linux.
WebRTC has its security downsides, but probably better than running a binary from the Chinese government as root so you can video call someone.
