Rec.js is RecNet server replacement for old Rec Room builds.
Rec.js is...
✅ a localhostable server for single person use (It is possible to play with others however!)
✅ similar to OpenRec and VaultServer
✅ a server for 2016 and 2017 builds
✅ fast, small, and portable (~650kb base download, ~9MB after package download)
Rec.js is not...
❌ a server that multiple people can connect to
❌ similar to OpenRec Live / OpenLabs
❌ a server for builds from 2018 and onwards
❌ slow and bloated
