As a Linux user, the idea that I might be able to get rid of my Wine installation that I'm using to run WindinkeditPlus2.exe, appealed to me. However, I'm not having much luck with getting this editor to work.

#1 When I load the editor.html file into FireFox 60.0 (64-bit) on Unbuntu 16.04, the tab for it changes to "Dink Mod Editor" and the web page remains 100% a blank white page. Since it is true that "by default, Firefox enables the use of JavaScript and requires no additional installation", I don't think there is anything wrong with Javascript on this system.

#2 I'm not certain that the "rather large useless subdirectory" that "has been removed" in the 0.2 May 2nd, 2018 version was actually removed.

When I unzip the browser_editor-0_2.zip file it produces this directory:
50 Megabytes dink (a directory)
112 Kilobytes editor (a directory)
430 bytes editor.html (an .html file)

But, perhaps the 50 megabyte dink directory is meant as a sample?
