"GitHub Pages" is presumably in the title as a hook, but in TFA the author notes that this will work for any statically-hosted website.



Not any statically-hosted website, it have to support byte range request (as part of the header).

This is normally used to pause/resume video, resume downloading files etc.


Good note. Byte-range requests are supported by default for static content on all web servers, so to your point, this won't work if you've explicitly turned it off.


However, if you check the AFT, the author notes that GitHub is strictly required, so I don't know what to think.


Didn't the author mention it uses wasm and emscript? Which both can be run/compiled on browsers.

I think it's possible everywhere, but you'd just need to do more than copy paste the authors work.


My entire comment was fabricated. I was making fun of the fact that other user was using obscure acronym.


"TFA" is a popular initialism of "the fucking article"/"the fine article", with a long history alongside "RTFM", "RTFA", etc.


I don't think its as popular as you think it is. Plus its used by a bunch of other crap:

so its probably worth just spelling out the thing.

It is here, so you're one of today's lucky 10,000! https://xkcd.com/1053/
