Spritely Goblins 0.15.0 is OUT! Goblins in the browser AT LAST! spritely.institute/news/sprite

You can even try a Goblins chat program talking over OCapN in the blogpost!

As long prophesied! Goblins on Hoot at last!

@spritely aah the release artwork turned out so good! congrats on the major release, the working browser chat is 🤯

@spritely "You can even try a Goblins chat program talking over OCapN in the blogpost!"

I can type in messages and push the "Send" button for both Alice and Bob, but where are the messages supposed to show up?

I guess my browsers are missing "tail call support" (whatever that is) or something?

@therealraccoon It's quite possible your browser is missing something! The features that enable Hoot are rolling out to browsers, but it is taking time. We're using some cutting edge stuff. But it won't be cutting edge forever :)

What browser are you using, on what OS? Any information on a particular error?

(Definitely give it a try on a recent firefox if you haven't!)

@spritely Tor Browser / Firefox ESR on Debian Stable.
I don't ever use anything recent-recent for the World Wide Web. :blob_raccoon_peek:

So I guess it's the newfangled stuff I'm missing.

With this kind of web stuff, it would be nice to get a comprehensible error message or something instead of the input just getting sucked into the void, though.

(I'm not a software developer or a computer scientist, and I'm trying to be excited about what you're working towards.)

@spritely Something like "Sorry, but it seems your browser doesn't support the brand-new Squiggle Gobbler Thingamabob. Please check again in two years or so!"

@spritely what a cool milestone! Congratulations!
