I've WASM'ed my Compose/Web test-card homepage. It's not much, but it's all WASM (GC flag enablement required) 🙂 More soon...

Learnings: •

wasmBrowserDistribution

task doesn't look ready, or I couldn't figure out how to use it. I ended up using the

wasmBrowserWebpack

task to generate the hosted output. • This creates

mjs

files which aren't recognised by nginx's default configuration. It was necessary to add

mjs

to the

javascript/application

MIME type.

• The Chinese font at the bottom of the page is the biggest file @ almost 10MB 🤦‍♂️ • The homepage wasm itself is only 2.5MB down from 5.6MB thanks to

binaryen

compression 🙂

Love that emoji 🥰 animation! Could you make your server support compression? My browser says it's downloading a whopping 23.9 MB in total... 🙃

Yeah I already turned on GZip lol

I should choose a plainer glyph or ditch the Chinese writing, I just wanted to prove it could render. Testing out capabilities.

Yeah, I learned about that Lottie thing last time when you were setting up that page. Seemingly still no compression arriving here. 🤔

Huh ok, I'll double check that. Thanks.

Yes, turns out gzip requires switching on per MIME-type. After some server-wrangling the data transferred is around halved to a 'mere' 13MB 🙃

Thanks for calling it out.

👍 So that worked to some extent. Half of the size is just that Japanese font...

Yes, I'll keep it since the page is serving its purpose to highlight the do's and don'ts for a Native Mobile / Desktop guy like me who's fancying WASM as a way to branch out onto Web after all these years.

I have another homepage in mind to replace this test-card later. Next; I wonder if shaders are supported via WebGL 🤔
