Don't you still have that place, for example GitHub, where open source code lives in non-minified, non-obfuscated form, together with a README, an issue tracker, etc.? Why do you need to rely on the production binary to be human readab

Wow, that is a really well polished, completed, and neat little game. Makes for a great WebAssembly demo given how quickly it loads and how much value you get out of it. It runs and looks fantastic at 2560x1600 fullscreen too (on a laptop m

That's a good point, which further motivates the desire not to have an account or do anything to support the product. While there are no guarantees, it still helps a little, since your endorsements are less likely to appear as genuine

REST v3 API supports conditional requests, that return 304 when content hasn't changed since last time you asked and don't count against rate limit. It means one can use a caching HTTP transport and benefit from that. Is there any

Yeah, this is basically the real UT99 codebase ported to run in the browser, but only includes resource files sufficient for the intro and main menu. The author outlined this in one of the bullet points. I agree, the main menu was equally i

You're probably thinking of the Epic Citadel tech demo [1]. It was specifically created for demonstrating emscripten on Unreal Engine 3. This is the original UT99 game instead. It's similar, but not the same. [1] https:/

This reminds me of the present tool [1] that the Go project created, which I like and use for my slides these days. Main reason, which it shares with GitPitch, is the simplicity. It works for my basic needs, and I don't want anything m

Thanks. That's the case now, but it doesn't have to be. I could add Google, Facebook, my own accounts (username/password), or other ways for people to authenticate with. I chose not to do that, and stick with GitHub auth only

Yep. My target audience has a GitHub account already, and I'd rather not force them to create yet another account on my personal site just to comment or leave a reaction. It also works well as a quality filter. People with a GitHub acc

That's true, Discus is pretty bad. That said, I really enjoy GitHub Issues-like comments. They're simple and get the job done just right.
