The main body of MIT App Inventor now loads via the CloudFlare content delivery network. This should result in faster startup of MIT App Inventor.
Note: Sites with restrictive firewalls will need to unblock access to https://.appinv.net (where the “” means any site name). This domain (appinv.net) is used exclusively to distribute the code of MIT App Inventor. Different host names are used for different versions.
