Finished the map file format and implemented saving/loading. Now the map doesn't reset every time I refresh the page 😅. Used React's <Suspense> tag (an underrated feature) for the loading overlay.

Building tileset grouping in the Get Lost editor. This lets you treat several tiles as a single object. Making levels without it is super painful because each tile in the map is treated as a separate object 🤮

Chrome's performance profiling tools are actually really good. You can see the flame graphs of your frames' main thread, background workers, even WASM, to find your bottlenecks.
If you've used these tools in other languages, you know they can be a pain to install and instrument into your dev env.
