Web Based Viewer?

[Artorius Constantine]

Everything I found was years out of date and unavailable.

Is such a thing out there?

have a look here, https://www.brightcanopy.com/

 

but it's pretty expensive. 17 dollars a month for max 20 hours.. and every login takes at least 30 minutes of your subscription

Wow, just like the phone apps it got monetized quickly.

That's kind of an odd comment, though. The Android viewer* is very inexpensive, considering the development effort that went into it and the pathetically tiny market for anything SL-related.

All along the various web-based viewers have a whole different cost structure because they're server-side rendered, which means the customer is effectively time-sharing a high-end GPU, in addition to all the bandwidth costs the service must bear. So that's a recurring fee, and will inevitably be higher per month than the one-time app purchase price.

Of course, it's all open-source, so anybody can make their own. It's not as if nobody has ever tried.
