Ah it looks like Firefox in private mode doesn't support indexed db with is used for storing the games locally and for auth. I should add some error message for that case :) Thank you for reporting. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1639542

Thank you so much. EarthBound is awesome. I played it for the first when I added SNES to Afterplay. Are you playing on desktop or mobile?

Very cool! I've built a similar platform for GB, GBA and SNES at https://afterplay.io I've thought about adding DOS support in the future. What emulator did you end up using? Very nice implementation :)

I think it's much more than a checkbox app. It does time tracking, objectives, supports integrations with other services like Apple Health and it has a great reporting and data insights.

It really is an impressive and incredibly polished service.

I think subscriptions are great especially for solo projects like this. They align incentives between the developer and the customer and can support maintenance and feature requests. If it's a one off payment I'm worried the app will die and not be supported.

That's strange. I'm sorry about that. Did it happen more than once? Did you hit the backspace key? I will investigate :)

I run Afterplay (https://afterplay.io). It's a game emulation platform where you bring your own games. It took 18 months from first line of code to 2K. It's now my full time job :)

Thanks Classy, I could do that, it would be slightly less convenient when switching devices as you'd have to add the rom again but could be an option if there is ever any issues. Another thing I've thought about is client side encrypting any roms before uploading them. That would me I don't know if people are playing homebrew titles or something else.
