I'm sure there's good reason, but I have the same question. I also don't understand the need to use promises in the construct. I'd love some clarity here.

I've used with great results in my procedural planet generator[1]. It's very forgiving, so made writing a "UI" with lots of complicated controls very easy for me. [1] http://wwwtyro.github.io/planet-3d&#x

I'm all for this, and consider it to be inevitable in the long run. In the short term, however, it seems like the major hurdle will be getting one of these projects into the mainstream: for the most part, the web already does what most

One point I've not seen mentioned yet is that the web is a fantastic distribution platform. Given the option, I'd much prefer to have written my molecule rendering project[1] on a native platform, but I'd get only a fraction

Sorry to hear that. Was it the same error as the parent had?

Looks like there's not support for that extension[1] on your system. Unfortunately there isn't really anything I can do about that. Thanks for trying, though, and for the feedback! [1] https://www.khronos.org/regis

You'll want to use the latest Chrome browser. If you run into issues, post them here (preferably with errors from the console) and I'll try to address them.

Fair point. A significant reason that p2p networks like freenet tend to be slow is because of low adoption - the more users there are, the faster it can be. I submit that making p2p applications easy to use will in turn make them faster tha
