Embedding the app inside the webpage is not a great idea. My PC couldn't really handle it so I couldn't read the page.

Lovely to hear the choir rehearsing a psalm sung in the longstanding Anglican choral tradition (Psalm 91 to a tune by H. Walford Davies).

Having spent a lot of time in those sorts of churches, feels weird to walk right up to the altar.

Fantastic Work!

You mentioned that "Everything beneath the Grace Cathedral experience is built on open source foundations." How feasible is it for a novice to build such an experience. Say I wanted one for my own house (should be MUCH less challenging)

I used to live just down a (very steep) block. I'd pass it on my walk to and from Trader Joe's and often stop inside. I met friends on the steps, I walked the mazes, I went to events, and I explored the building and grounds. It's very nostalgic to revisit it again. I hope I get the chance to go back to SF before too long.
