Really neat! Shame it's Chromium only, though. Does Firefox intend to implement web MIDI eventually?

I'm using MIDI as an input to the control software for an art installation at the moment, and once WebGPU is out and compute shaders are available on the web, the whole thing could be deployed to the browser, which would be cool. At the moment it's built to a native executable, which is fast, but not as easy to share.

Mozilla for now has been against WebMIDI due to concerns about the scope and security implications: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/58
