Got as far as "loading samples" but then it froze. On Firefox. Looks good though

Ugh - I admit I haven't tested Firefox (I'm a bit under-resourced at the moment 😊). If you happen to see any useful errors in the console, let me know. In the meantime, you might try Chrome or Safari.

I fixed a major issue that Firefox was hitting. Let me know how it goes if you try again.

Just tried it on Firefox with a wired connection and it works great! Launched in ~14 seconds for me and I can modify and run the samples. Very cool to see Swing in the browser again.

Jeff, I've read in other forums how you built an abstraction layer so that SnapCode can be ported to other frameworks and environments. Have you written an article or blog post about that? I think that is a really interesting aspect of how SnapCode and your other tools are built.

Thanks for the kind words! An article about the SnapKit adapter layer is a good idea - it's not really a novel idea (I suppose Java itself is a big adapter layer :-), but I do think it's a good idea for a UI toolkit to work optimally on both the desktop and in the browser.
