WASM

Open-source projects categorized as WASM

WebAssembly (abbreviated WASM) is a binary instruction format for a stack-​based virtual machine. WebAssembly is an open standard that defines a portable binary-code format for executable programs, and a corresponding textual assembly language, as well as interfaces for facilitating interactions between such programs and their host environment.

  • yew

    Rust / Wasm framework for creating reliable and efficient web applications

    Project mention: If Not React, Then What? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-30

    > You still need to access the DOM, which can't be done directly from WASM. Maybe someday it will happen?

    You can access the DOM through JavaScript glue. These Rust WASM frameworks do that:

    - Leptos: https://www.leptos.dev/

    - Sycamore: https://sycamore.dev/

    - Yew: https://yew.rs/

    - Dioxus: https://dioxuslabs.com/

    > Okay, so use canvas instead and do all UI inside WASM?

    You can do that too. That's what this VB6 clone written in C# and compiled to WebAssembly does:

    > vague "JavaScript limitations"

    It's not vague. Despite 28 years of effort optimizing JavaScript, WebAssembly outperforms JavaScript:

  • raylib

    A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming

    Project mention: Procedural Generation and Noise | dev.to | 2024-11-20

    For this most recent assignment we were tasked with contributing a larger feature to an open source project. During my time with the previous assignment I worked on a game engine called Litecanvas, inspired engine by libraries like raylib and p5.js/Processing.

  • egui

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

    Project mention: Egui 0.29.0 – Multipass, `UiBuilder`, & visual improvements | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-26
  • dioxus

    Fullstack app framework for web, desktop, mobile, and more.

    Project mention: Dioxus 0.6 – Crossplatform apps with Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-11

    In, my opinion it's good for ambitious projects to have a stable financial foundation. What negative things one project does because of venture capital does not mean another will.

    There's no CLA. Dioxus is MIT/Apache-2 licensed.

    > How many of the contributors are directly payed for their contributions?

    I unfortunately feel like you're asking this in bad faith. Our team is very small, we're very lean, and we have funding sources that aren't just venture. We also have a very active community and people are building new libraries and becoming dioxus contributors every day.

    Note: it does seem at least some development happens in the open https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp

    > We are planning to first open-source our Rust UI framework, and then parts and potentially all of our client codebase. The server portion of Warp will remain closed-source for now.

    https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/discussions/400

    None of the server bits will be open, ever, but some of the UI code will be? Better than nothing.

  • tree-sitter

    An incremental parsing system for programming tools

    Project mention: Tbsp – treesitter-based source processing language | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-01

    For those that want to explore the grammars listed at https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/wiki/List-of-pars... in a more friendly railroad diagram format I made https://mingodad.github.io/plgh/json2ebnf.html that reads the "src/grammar.json" and try it's best to generate an EBNF understood by (IPV6) https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui or (IPV4) https://rr.red-dove.com/ui where we get a nice navigable railroad diagram (see https://github.com/GuntherRademacher/rr for offline usage).

  • filament

  • slint

    Slint is a declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, or JavaScript apps.

    Project mention: Electrobun: Cross-platform desktop applications written in TypeScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-20

    If you want to use Rust, Slint[0] may be something to consider, seeing as the existing bindings for Qt and QML are not very pleasing to use (mostly talking about qmetaobject-rs and cxx-qt). If I'm not mistaken, Slint is developed by ex-QML people.

  • assemblyscript

    A TypeScript-like language for WebAssembly.

    Project mention: The many faces of undefined in JavaScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-25
  • compose-multiplatform

    Compose Multiplatform, a modern UI framework for Kotlin that makes building performant and beautiful user interfaces easy and enjoyable.

    Project mention: Understanding file associations in JVM apps | dev.to | 2024-01-07

    So, to add file associations, we need to be able to pass both the .properties file and the --file-associations option. At the time of writing this article, the org.jetbrains.compose plugin doesn't provide such a mechanism. There is an open issue on GitHub that describes a possible workaround, which, unfortunately seems to not work on macOS.

  • TinyGo

    Go compiler for small places. Microcontrollers, WebAssembly (WASM/WASI), and command-line tools. Based on LLVM.

    Project mention: If Not React, Then What? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-30
  • wasmtime

    A lightweight WebAssembly runtime that is fast, secure, and standards-compliant

    Project mention: Introducing our Next-Generation JavaScript SDK | dev.to | 2024-11-25

    Standards help in a completely different way, too: since all of the HTTP support is now built using wasi-http, applications built with the new SDK that don’t make use of the Spin-specific APIs we also support can run in any environment that supports wasi-http, such as Wasmtime and Node.js (via JCO).

  • ffmpeg.wasm

    FFmpeg for browser, powered by WebAssembly

    Project mention: Show HN: I Added a Feature to WhatsApp-Web, Animated GIFs Uploads (Chrome Ext.) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-23

    Hi HN! I'm Ivan, the creator of this extension and with it you can now right-click any gif on Google Chrome (desktop) to share it with any of your contacts on WhatsApp Web, you can also use it to upload animated GIFs from your computer, you can even drag-and-drop MP4 files to it and they will be treated as gifs (e.g. they will loop, muted of course). Another nice feature its that it lets you share non-gif images with the same context menu option (e.g. AKA right-click menu)

    To create it I had to do a bit of reverse-engineering of the existing JavaScript found at https://web.whatsapp.com/, which is actually a minified React app, I found out that it uses WebSockets to communicate with the backend but thankfully to create this extension I was able to avoid fiddling with those messages. Under the hood it uses the amazing library ffmpeg.wasm (the JS port of ffmpeg): https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm I also made use of TypeScript, React and Vite to create this extension, using this boilerplate as starting point: https://github.com/Jonghakseo/chrome-extension-boilerplate-r...

    Feel free to ask any questions or any feedback you may have about it.

  • Pion WebRTC

    Pure Go implementation of the WebRTC API

    Project mention: Pion WebRTC v4.0.0 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-12
  • sql.js

    A javascript library to run SQLite on the web.

    Project mention: SQLite FTS5 Extension | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-08

    I once tried to use sql.js [1] on a static site for full text search. It worked, but the resulting database size for that site was too large for the web, even with things like detail=none and content='' applied, and requiring the user to download a database each time was just no go. (I guess things should work better for sites with less content or those not requiring a trigram tokenizer.)

    I switched to Pagefind [2] afterwards before finding out a sql.js-httpvfs [3] fork of sql.js that removes exactly the need to fully download a database (with HTTP range requests). I haven't got the chance to test sql.js-httpvfs out though, but it looks pretty sound and could be much more flexible than Pagefind. (Previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27016630 .)
