I've had this crazy idea to try and "port" emacs to the Web browser (using some tools like [[https://browsix.org/][browsix]]), for the purpose of running org-mode inside a browser tab. Anyone having had the same idea yet ? Interestingly, porting a C program to browsix currently seem to rely on emscripten and LLVM... which might not be the best toolchain for building Gnu Emacs... but trolls aside, I'd be curious of the feasability. I'm not exactly sure why that would be worth doing... but I can imagine running that Emacs Web browser port over some kind of versioned file system, and Emacs conf files (org + tangling, of course), so that you have "your" org-mode at hand from anywhere using a URL and a browser tab... of course, using a keyboard for browsing that tab would be better than a touch screen, re keyboard shortcuts. Any clues ? I've already spotted http://www.ymacs.org/ which could be of use, for the terminal interface parts. Maybe browsix already provides everything else that's needed (LLVM, emscripten, ...). Another option could be some kind of use of WebAssembly port, for browser compatibility, maybe. Of course performance would be interesting to benchmark. Thanks for your feedback.
