Fwd: Lo on wasm

Dear all,

 Alvaro pointed out to me that LibreOffice builds now to webasm. There is a thread about it in Hacker News (see link below). Of course this, as our attempt, is just a proof-of-concept, since most of the UI has to be revisited to be useful as a web application (due to limitations in the filesystem, different UI context, etc...). If you are curious below you find also a link to a talk about the Web port of AutoCAD. They had an old/large C++ codebase and it is quite insightful to see how they managed to have a web version. 

Best
Max

I need to separate better the UI code, since on the browser the ideal way to run the typesetter and core is in a separate thread while communicating with a javascript layer which takes care of the UI with the browser API.  This require some preliminary work, I guess this could also be applied to the Qt version since would make the core more independent of the UI library.
