Joseph, others, have you thought about Dis-to-wasm JIT?  I recall Charles/Vita Nuova doing a browser plugin a few years ago, but things could be a lot simpler now. HTML5 also has storage api's; a lot of local resources can be available via 9p/sytx (devdraw, fs, cons)

Hi All,

I managed to get it running after all of these years. In case anyone tries it again here's a few things that I had to do to get it to work on the latest 9front.

* Copy the latin1.h header file from the bell labs distribution and copy it into /sys/src/9/port

* Run ip/httpd/httpd -w /sys/web/9wd (this is where the installation copies the web app)

* Patch /usr/web/9wd/js/draw/data.js by commenting out the "delete conn.imgs[id];" line

    * Future draw commands come in referring to the old image for some reason and the server doesn't handle it well

Yes, when I coerce the websocket tool to launch rio instead of acme there's some oddness when I launch new graphical apps within rio from the windows, such as acme. They tend to think that they should occupy the entire screen. Also, be patient because it is quite slow for now.

Does anyone know if David is still active in this space?

Erik, where can I learn more about the layers?

Thanks,

Chris

this implementation is enough to run acme,but not a full p9 terminal.  you'll need layers for that.
