  • orca

    A Wasm environment for cross-platform, sandboxed graphical applications. (by orca-app)

    Must be me, but the page shows nothing now except for an 'empty' page (logo and the statement: "web assembly apps without the web" and top nav "blog", "code", etc. Navigated to https://github.com/orca-app/orca and at least can see what this is all about. Perhaps something was removed or edited?

  • webvm

    Virtual Machine for the Web

    X64 is not yet supported, but we got good results for x86 already: https://webvm.io

  • egui

    egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native

    Cross-platform UI development is a total mess with literally zero solutions ticking all the boxes.

    If you want to write an app which will target all the major platforms (3 desktops and two mobiles), want a native look and minimal effort for every platform you target, there is nothing apart from QT.

    If you drop native look requirement, some small things like https://www.egui.rs/ might work for you.

    If you drop the minimal effort requirement, all the webivew based mess might help you but it won't be easy due to multiple reasons.

  • a-shell

    A terminal for iOS, with multiple windows

    a-Shell [1][2] has WebAssembly (and WASI) support and ships with a compiler that compiles to, you guessed it, Wasm
