Not everyone has a VR headset. Only a few people are able to take advantage of this feature.
I don't completely agree. This can be useful for any feature that requires an expensive initial setup:
This is the whole raison d'être of p5.live. I think a minimal MVP version in the editor could be a nice feature a lot of folks with different use cases can benefit from.
Increasing Access
Hello,
I'm currently working on p5.xr, and I would like to share examples with the web editor. Because of how WebXR works, the user has to press a button to give access to an
immersive session
. Entering this mode takes a few seconds and it's quite cumbersome to have to go in and out of the mode to change simple parameters.I would like to have a "real live coding" experience, as with p5.live, as you can see below. I don't want to use p5.live, because the sharing functionality is not working as well as with the web editor for now.

Feature request details
As mentioned in #3 currently the page reloads completely on changes. Having a live mode would entail only reloading parts of the sketch.
For my use case at least, a quick and imperfect way to prototype is all I need. I know that having this work "properly" would involve handling a lot of edge cases and could be quite tricky.
I made a simple script today that works fine locally: https://github.com/TiborUdvari/p5.dumbLiveReload/blob/main/src/index.js. I'm using a polling approach, which works fine on my localhost, but I think that could be problematic with the web editor.
I've quickly checked the networking in the editor, and on save there seems to be a PUT request that sends all the data to the server.
My questions, to be able to make this work properly with the editor would be:
Thanks a lot!
