The first release. Sideload is a desktop launcher for web games: browse a
catalog and play, without installing anything.

  • Games stream when you launch them. Nothing downloads ahead of time and
    nothing is left on disk.
  • A controller drives everything, not just the game. Games get the pad
    directly and need no SDK for it.
  • Every game runs sandboxed, and can only reach the network if its listing
    says it needs to.
  • macOS on Apple Silicon.

This is a developer alpha. Tokens are issued by hand, there is no signup, and
games are published with the sideloadplay CLI rather than from the launcher.

The launcher updates itself. A new version downloads in the background and is
applied the next time you quit, never in the middle of a game.
