Doesn't it only work in a browser? And so does that count as "native Linux support"?

They expose an API, you can write against it in Swift with the right libraries. No reason why you can't write against the same API in Linux using your language of choice.

Apple only provides bindings for Swift/JS/Obj-C though, so it'd be a bit of work.

Last time I checked (a few months ago) there was no access to the audio outside of the browser i.e. DRM protected. Accessing the rest of the API is presumably simple but not very interesting.

Maybe you can run it in a web view and put some native chrome over it?
