When to Use Which?

Start with Web Dojo if you want to explore what Clayground can do, prototype a single-file QML app, or share a playable demo without requiring anyone to install anything.

Switch to Desktop Dojo when you need multi-file projects, custom C++ plugins, faster reload cycles, or full debugger access. The desktop setup gives you the complete toolchain.
