Very slow load in Firefox – stuck on “Downloading Runtime”. No error in console, and the .wasm file is stuck in the loading stage in the Network tab – a few minutes first time, 20 seconds now (with cache cleared). No such problems in Chromium. Weird!

Overall though it's a cool project. Personally I would prefer if it was a desktop app as well (with better integrations and less overhead – and certainly with hi-res support!). Congrats on the launch!

Wow you guys wrote Zero Engine? I used it in summer camps at DigiPen a long time ago, I really enjoyed using it and programming in Zilch (I wrote an AI that played a galaga clone!). This Unity fiasco had me wondering how Zero was doing. Seems like it's going to have a resurgence! Super exciting!

Worked fine for me in Firefox.

Probably some very flaky issue then. My current ISP isn't very reliable, although everything else seems to work fine right now.

Cool project. Is there any way to scale the UI for high dpi displays? On a 2:1 display, the fonts look aliased, if I set the browser zoom to 50%, the UI looks crisp, but everything is a bit small to be useful.

I fail to understand why not use the native browser rendering engine, or at least SVG for the UI. It must be cheaper in resources (memory, network, cpu), easier to make accessible and easier to render
