@tuban_muzuru An alternative to egui would be a frontend framework like Yew or Dioxus, which would let you interact with the DOM.
However, as long as you don't want accessibility support, I think egui is pretty stable and a good option for more app-based websites.
Edit: Yew is dead so try another one here: https://github.com/flosse/rust-web-framework-comparison
JAWSM—a JavaScript to #Wasm compiler:
https://itsallaboutthebit.com/jawsm/. A similar tool is Porffor: https://github.com/CanadaHonk/porffor. Neither of them are production-ready, but the idea of compiling JavaScript to #WebAssembly is very compelling.
Bring Rust to AI Workflows!
Learn how to integrate Rust with AI frontends like Claude Desktop using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) by leveraging WebAssembly (Wasm)!
hell yeeeaahhh k23 finally has working host functions!!!!!!!
this means we can finally execute useful #wasm including running the test suites!
hmm, now what does this remind me of:
"By standardizing APIs for #WebAssembly, #WASI provides a way to compose software written in different languages—without costly and clunky interface systems like HTTP-based microservices." (https://wasi.dev)
Oh yeah, here it is:
"The Infinite Improbability Drive was a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without tedious mucking about in hyperspace"...
and:
..."The Bistromathic Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing vast interstellar distances without all the dangerous mucking about with Improbability Factors."
(and you thought I was gonna mention #Java and Jini!)
(h/t to Douglas Adams for his enduring insight into human behavior, and the #wasm / #wasi folks for doing god's work!)

Just got my first patch merged into the #V8 #javascript engine today. It was a very small change in code, but caused serious performance uplift - an average of ~4% over a number of #webassembly benchmarks, some of which was even over 20%!
The app is a character sheet for a #ttrpg based on a custom game system my friends and I have been evolving since around 1985. These days I suppose you could compare it somewhat to the #fate system a little?
I asked the AI to create it using #blazor, and it chose the #webassembly option. I'm not sure that's correct, but I suspect the AI can easily convert it to Blazor server if necessary.
Excited for #JCON EUROPE 2025? See Nicolas Fränkel at #JCON2025 in Cologne talking about '#WebAssembly on #Kubernetes'
