Export Function Doesn't Work

I know that this question has already been asked and closed, but I did want to know if there may have been any updates on it actually being fixed.

I was able to find out why this doesn't work: Out of security reasons this is now disabled in browsers.

An alternative is opening a window with a blob and to get the blob we convert the base64 string to it

So the part of the export function in index.js would then look like this:

image.getBase64(Jimp.MIME_PNG, (_, uri) => {
    fetch(uri)
    .then(res => res.blob())
    .then(blob => {
        const fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        window.open(fileURL);
    })

@gabriellesc I can PR this change but will this then automatically apply to the hosted version aswell?
Because to run it locally I needed to create the wrapping index.html myself and also provide the missing images in the repo.

@panmau since this repository has had no activity in 4-ish years I think it is better to fork and make your own site with the change. The website data is at this place: https://github.com/gabriellesc/gabriellesc.github.io/tree/master/piet. I can provide help if needed.

I already made my own fork with the fix and deployed it to my own site.: https://github.com/panmau/piet-ide (also contains an unrelated change, click on the help icon to get the normal behavior)

As the creator still seems active on GitHub I think that a merge of this isn't out of the question but we'll see.
