Vibe-coded Steam, but in the browser

Hi HN! Lifelong avid gamer here, hugely passionate about WASM and WebGPU. I firmly believe that these technologies will enable console and PC quality titles to be accessible through a browser, and with this, we'll need a new discoverability layer. Looking online, platforms like CrazyGames and Poki cater to a casual/hypercasual demographic, and I couldn't find anything out there that was for me, a core gamer that typically uses Steam and consoles. So I vibe coded my own! It features WASM ports of classic games, as well as some indie Unity titles. The goal is to host mainly WebGPU titles moving forward, and to serve as a way for smaller developers to get discovered outside of crowded channels like Steam. Here's a few features from the platform I wanted to highlight: • Controller support • A console-like UI/UX • Community forums (much work to do here) • Basic achievements • Store pages, modeled after Steam • Social features • Asset chunking to enable faster load times I'd love to get feedback on the portal, to make it even better. Thanks!
