Ah yes, a JS runtime and a browser, 2 things which are feasible to develop and definitely not massive black boxes.

I love the idea.

I just think it would be better being a format unto itself, or at least not requiring JS and/or a browser. Decoupling from these at least permits other language implementations of viewers/editors; browsers are already basically unimplementable by anyone without massive commercial backing.

It used to be marketed as "for the browser" in previous HN posts, but now it looks like it was taken out.

If the tool aims to allow to create documents and papers and does not support static output then I don't get how that would work.
