May I ask what you are trying to accomplish? If it's about a save file, you might be better off using shared variables in my opinion. I could provide an example how I mange saves in ORBITER, if you want. There is a special case when using Edge, VirtualNomad kindly pointed out a fix by tboy, which I could provide as well.

I believe it is not possible to access userfiles with HTML5 only. Besides, GetReadPath() would return the path AppGameKit is allowed access to/where the executable resides - which in HTML5 would be an empty string, like you described.

I can't get the browser to save data locally as well...
Once the app relaunched, everything is gone!

It would be really helpful, if you could elaborate on what you are trying to save and maybe share the code. If you are using shared variables, try Firefox first, because there is an issue on Microsoft Edge.

If it works in Firefox, you are good to go, there is a fix for Edge and supposedly other browsers here.
