Note for Firefox users, the "cat video" section is not working, and you will not be able to experience the rest of the app. You are supposed to break the player in a Google Gravity[1] like fashion, but it's broken. They should not "highly" recommend using chrome, but just say it does not work on other browsers. [1] https://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-gravity...

Hey there! I have pushed a fix to make it compatible with Firefox. Thank you very much for the feedback! If there are any other issues, I am here on a lookout :D

Thank you!

Not sure if I'm normal stuck or if something is supposed to happen past the "Seriously, you need to go."

EDIT: It's the three dots in the top right that are "unbreakable", I guess.

Its struggling in part because it decided it needed to do a bunch of non browser things.

Firefox isn't really making enough in donations to maintain a major piece of web infrastructure. So it gets search revenue from Google, which people complain about (and may not be long term sustainable). So they go make other paid for things looking for revenue, which people complain about.

It's a little more nuanced than that.

Ah, yes, the web: Infinitely cross platform and portable, except "this website will only work if you run the js with this specific js interpreter, and also we dont know how to do css so we used very platform specific css, and also our html is not complaint but Chrome doesn't care, and also... but its cross platform. Its the web, it runs anywhere!"

It's temporarily down while I migrate servers. I almost went bankrupt, glad I checked and stopped in time.

Hey, I'm on the team at Vercel. I see a few changes you can make to your app to help you stay within the free tier limits. Sent you an email.

If the user donations aren’t enough, surely their main revenue source—the 100s of millions of dollars they get from Google—is? Or do they need billions just to maintain a competent browser?

This isn’t a very scathing point when it comes to hobby projects where someone has limited time to test in multiple configurations, so they recommend the one they use when they developed it.

They chose to publicize their hobby project and put it in front of a bunch of people it doesn't work for, they can expect criticism from people doesn't work for.

They didn’t publicize it, someone else posted it. They didn’t even know about it until they got a notification from Vercel from all the traffic. Check out the creator’s top level comment. It was just a hackathon project that got some unexpected attention.
