  1. container2wasm

    Container to WASM converter

    Really impressed by the depth and breadth of this project, well done!

    A particularly interesting part is the socket layer inside the browser. Other people solving this problem have previously used a proxy to a server that does the real socket implementation. This means you can't have a "browser-only" solution.

    The author has solved this (for HTTP/S only) by proxying HTTP requests and then re-creating them as fetch requests (details here: https://github.com/ktock/container2wasm/tree/main/examples/n...). I'm very interested in using this approach for my own project Runno (https://runno.dev).

  2. InfluxDB

  3. v86

    x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser

    Also: https://github.com/copy/v86 - more productized browser x86 runtime, used by eg https://github.com/snaplet/postgres-wasm

  4. webvm

    Virtual Machine for the Web

    Shameless self-promotion: https://webvm.io

    Powered by a x86->Wasm JIT. Technical writeup: https://labs.leaningtech.com/blog/webvm-server-less-x86-virt...

  5. greenfield

    HTML5 Wayland compositor :seedling:

    Do any GUI frameworks support WASM?

    I've been looking for a way to run GUI applications remotely for a while, specifically on a wlroots compositor. Projects like this (maybe one day) and https://github.com/udevbe/greenfield are interesting since they essentially make access universally accessible.

  6. winit

    Window handling library in pure Rust

  7. vscode-container-wasm

    https://github.com/ktock/container2wasm#additional-resources :

    https://github.com/ktock/vscode-container-wasm:

    > vscode-container-wasm: VSCode extension for running containers on VSCode on browser (e.g. github.dev), leveraging container2wasm

    Chromebooks can run vscode.dev and WASM.

    Is this the best way to git clone and run `python -m this` on a Chromebook?

    This could be useful with jupyter-repo2docker.

  8. sokol

    minimal cross-platform standalone C headers

    I'm using Dear ImGui for my cross-platform code (which includes running in browsers):

    - https://floooh.github.io/visual6502remix/

    - https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/c64-ui.html

    - (start these samples by clicking on the little "UI" icon) https://floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/

    Platform abstraction is handled through the sokol headers: https://github.com/floooh/sokol
