Opening a template on a new device no longer lands you in an empty editor

If you were signed in but arrived on a device or browser Playcode had never loaded before - a new laptop, a cleared browser, a private window - opening a template link directly (/javascript-template and friends) could leave you staring at an empty editor: no files, no preview, no menu. Reloading did not help.

The editor was starting before your account finished arriving from the server, and then quietly gave up. Two things changed:

  • The editor no longer waits on that data to build your project, so a first

visit on a new device opens the same way a returning one does.

  • If an open genuinely fails, you now get a clear message with a Retry button

instead of a blank page.
