I used WebSerial + WebSockets during hardware to prototype some connected hardware (on boards that didn’t have WiFi).
Plug in to USB, fire up the web app, and then press a button in NY to light up LEDs in SF – it was exciting stuff!
I never tried actually programming the boards over WebSerial; that obviously opens up many more use cases. I’m thinking about the success that p5.js has had in the creative coding community, largely driven (I think) by a low barrier to entry since it just requires a web browser to get started.

Amazing feature for beginners. Is it possible to do this using Arduino?
I don’t see why not. https://docs.arduino.cc/libraries/webserial/
