You might be thinking: "I remember browser games. They were clunky Flash monstrosities that sounded like jet engines."

No. This is different.

Because games.github.io leverages WebGL and requestAnimationFrame, the input lag on a well-coded portable game is often lower than running a native game through a bloated Electron wrapper (like Discord or Slack). The WASM builds of Quake 3 run at 60fps on a MacBook Air.
