Does this work on Firefox or Safari? You say “Firefox or Safari fall back to a virtual filesystem” but somehow I can’t get this fallback to work. When I click New Project I just get a reminder to use Chrome or Edge. Is there a button to press to trigger the fallback?

I'm on Safari, and it seems you can open your local LaTeX file to use the tool. It's an “Open file” button at the top.

Although I agree that it would be cool to have some hello-world example pre-opened.

There's no button (that's a gap on my side, not intended behavior). New Project currently goes only through the folder picker, so on Firefox or Safari it just stops there. The virutal filesystem fallback is only in Open File, which is also why zahrevsky's workaround gets you in.

I'll make New Project also fall back the same way, so it works in Firefox and Safari without the detour.
