^ This line will break on non-macOS systems. Probably other things when trying to build the demo apps, too.

Describe the solution you'd like
Updates to the build script to make it multiplatform (and less janky overall)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there's only PD<->PD communication. Adding, basically, "AJAX support" would enable:

1. Talking to third party gameplay servers
2. Leaderboards
3. Probably lots more (a web browser?)

Describe the solution you'd like

1. The Playdate should be able to send commands to the browser to trigger HTTP requests
2. The browser should send responses back to the Playdate (new global)
3. The browser should send errors back to the Playdate

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

Right now, the hands don't move when A is pressed.

Describe the solution you'd like
The "finger down" state has already been drawn. Both players should see this; probably the easiest way to do that is send A down/up events over the network.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not animating the hands, which is what I did originally.

This would certainly make development easier when you only have one Playdate! Among other benefits like the ability to have "dedicated servers" running actual PD code.

Describe the solution you'd like
Some discussion: https://discord.com/channels/675983554655551509/1173443567730032730/1173466464548835349

I have no clue what I'm doing when I try to program with this

Describe the solution you'd like
Some form of documentation, even just a text file would be amazing, explaining just how to do anything with this.

Describe alternatives you've considered
DMing @paulstraw but I don't want to annoy him

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
pdportal doesn't currently support any mobile devices, because it requires Web Serial.

Describe the solution you'd like
As mentioned by dlog in this thread, there's a Serial API Polyfill available from Google that implements Web Serial on top of WebUSB. The polyfill repo explicitly mentions Android support. See also, https://caniuse.com/webusb

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
I'd like to wait to action this until 0.2.0 lands.
