## What it is
webЯcade is a web-based front end for playing retro games in the browser via emulators and game engines, driven by user-defined cloud-based feeds. It supports gamepads and runs across platforms including Xbox Series X|S, iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.

## Use cases
- play retro games in the browser on xbox or iphone
- build a shareable feed of emulator games with artwork
- run classic doom and snes games without installing anything
- create a browser-based arcade front end with gamepad support
- host a self-hosted gaming front end with docker
- play homebrew roms from cloud storage in a browser

## When to choose
- you want browser-based retro gaming across desktop, mobile, and console
- you want to curate and share game feeds with a graphical editor
- you rely on native gamepad support rather than touch controls

## When to avoid
- you need cutting-edge emulator accuracy or the latest features
- you primarily want to play locally stored ROMs without a web server
- you need touch/virtual gamepad controls on mobile
