[QGIS-Developer] QGIS and WebAssembly

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi all,

Very cool demo - thanks for sharing!

Would any part of the current QGIS Desktop part be re-usable in a "web 
assembly" QGIS? Or would the GUI part have to be re-developed?

I would also assume that access to local files would be very restricted 
- right? Network based resources (DB access and web services) would 
probably work fine?

Thanks and greetings,

Andreas
