This is a part of cross-platform GUI Library for Go. See https://github.com/codeation/impress

The WebAssembly terminal is a tool for using the browser as a GUI canvas.

Reasons to have a browser version for a GUI app:

• Access from anywhere to view some of the data created on the desktop.
• Demonstration of desktop GUI application.
• Periodically launched application with a graphical interface without installation on computer.

The hello world source located in examples folder.

To run :

git clone https://github.com/codeation/canvas.git
cd canvas
cp "$(go env GOROOT)/misc/wasm/wasm_exec.js" .
GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o main.wasm ./cmd/
go run ./examples/wasm

To see results, open http://localhost:8080/ in you browser. Please, try with Brave or Chrome browser.
