For the past three years I've been building what I hope will be the next Blender, tackling the lack of any good 2D design or image editing tools outside the Adobe monopoly. This was our first year participating in Google Summer of Code and this Q3 update includes the big payoff from that, covering the most progress we've made so far as a project. If you're a Rust dev, consider getting involved as we apply for the next GSoC in the new year— you could be our intern next summer :)

Is there any dependencies that would not allow this to be compiled to WASM?

I just think sometimes when I see cool apps like this, it seems like there could be a new wave of cool web/phone apps using RUST/WASM.

Something about these Rust examples just seem snappier, sharper.

You're in luck, this seems to _only_ support WASM in the browser for the time being.
