<p>Sorry. I only test my lulz-ware in android chrome. 
I have fun and then wanna show people my toys so they can play with them.<p>What do you mean by embedded browser? 
From your message its hard to figure out os, browser, versions, device or really anything.
"It works in chrome" :-)

<p>A thought on server based albeit decentralized (matrix, fediverse etc) versus offline first p2p based coms:
This friday i had a discussion with some local hackers on an unimportant subject.
However i wrote that i had started a telegram thread about the subject and got a lot of critic for using that instead of the matrix server they had setup. My argument was that since both were server based i didnt see the difference other than i  didnt have established trust to neither their matrix server nor telegram so why should i choose one over the other.<p>It turned into a greasy mess where they were giving political arguments for choosing matrix with me insisting on working on true p2p offline first serverless (or server-optional) coms is the only route worth taking. 
I have searched the web for similar discussions but cant find any. 
My point is just that i dont see the reason for onboarding people to another server based (albeit federated) coms platform when the possibility of true p2p exists. 
I see a lot of people (in denmark) highlighting ownership of internet based infrastructure as a mega plus (email servers, self hosting etc done by colaboratives) but they seem to be only semi technically savy to an extent or ignorant of p2p. 
Its sad as i severely need aome local peers to bounce ideas on my esp32 based dialphone p2pmesh.<p>Anyway, just as i said, a thought and maybe you have one too</p>

A live feed of anonymized obfuscated samples, from the decentralized diy heating infrastructure of freetown christiania, is translated into velocities and pentatones for different instruments (hashfunction of data selects instrument) and played live in browser using js midi lib. 
We supply heating to about 500 entities, and sample once per minute.</p>

<p>i have been asked by a small music venue to see if i could simplify their drupal install<p>since i dont know php, and since the website is mostly just a bunch of bloglike posts with events, i thought it would make a good candidate for a static page<p>THAT is until i figured out the backcatalog of posts going back to 2011 with huge image assets.<p>so i came up with this plan: 
https://github.com/sloev/research-into-serverless-git-based-cms/blob/main/README.md<p>which roughly is to create two repos:
one repo for a single file cms in the form of a cloudflare worker that does ultra simple access control together with image upload (presigned backblaze urls) and form submit (musicevents new/updated) as json<p>another repo for keeping the layout plus all the music events json etc
this repo can be public andwill build static html on each push<p>my question is : "is this gonna make the site more maintainable in the future?"<p>currently they have no person responsible for the website s it has to be easy to get into and maintain for an occational dev</p>
