Interesting project!

The fact that I have to fetch the stork.js from your CDN, and a random wasm blob gets pulled in as well, is unfortunately a deal killer for adoption, at least for me. A pointer to how to self-host might help address this.

Self-hosted Stork is definitely possible, and definitely something I want to build! I've been focusing on a different type of user for the 1.0.0 (the user who wants to paste in a single script tag), and there are still some last experience improvements I want to make for those folks, but I completely recognize the value of self-hosting code like this and want to build something into Stork that will fill that niche, as well.

For now (and I haven't tried this for self-hosting, so use at your own risk) -- the whole project (incl. the final JS file and the WASM blob) can be built from source. Tweaking the build a little bit would probably get you most of the way there.

I'm visiting my parents on a low speed connection and it didn't work at first. I had to clear the cache and restart. I don't know if it's related to this, but I suspect so.
