JavaScript, browsers, and interactivity

Customizability was actually the reason for trying to make my own ChoiceScript implementation. I don’t agree with Dan’s view that you have to take away that much visual control from the authors to make the games playable and accessible on desktop and mobile. Also for my stuff I need something Turing-complete, and that would be pretty easy to integrate into CS.

I’m wondering if all the people bouncing off Twine are only using the app? Most of the big Twine developers I know write in VSCode using Twee (and tweego for compilation). Writing Twee is much like writing CS or Ink, but with all the Twine customisability still available.

I encounter an unusable website on Firefox like once a year only.

That sounds about right. And when I do encounter an unusable website it’s nothing to do with Javascript, it’s about security settings. Cross-site loading, CORS violations, etc. Basically the sort of privacy-related things that people want to use something like Brave for.
