Hi Martin,

Supercool demo!!!! :-)

But (I always but...), some questions for the project:

I think this pushes us to the technical limits of browsers. with that 
also performance wise to the limits of QGIS?
Like people are now asking for/using QGIS on chromebooks and (smaller) 
ARM devices: is that still really workable?

As a technical pet project, it is cool, but can we keep the promise of a 
GIS in a browser?
Or do we end up with a poor performing (or only working for small sets) 
of QGIS?

Or should we put more money/energy in makin QGIS more modular so you can 
use certain modules for a small viewer and the full Monty for a true 
GIS?

Regards,
