Many machines from the 80s exert a special fascination. And Apple's are a very special species for many retro tech lovers. But that alone is certainly not the reason, why so many emulators exist for the various systems.

Will Scullin was not the first in 2013, and will not be the last in 2022, who came up with the idea of building a Javascript emulator for the Apple ][ and Apple //e.

Unlike other projects, however, Will is still busy maintaining it. He has modernized the entire tooling and build chain, and is switching from Javascript to Typescript. So the project is alive.

If you need a fast and comfortable Apple ][ emu with disk image drag&drop, you will be happy with the live version of Apple ][ JS. The variant for the //e can be found here.

And if you have the time and inclination to di through the innards, you can find the source on github, and use it to run the emulator locally.
