@simon #WASM is such an interesting development for web apps that can run locally in the browser, even when offline. 😃

Slightly related note, Motherduck's 1.5 tier architecture powered by WASM is pretty cool too, especially when are able to join between tables on your browser and in your cloud in a single SQL query.

Wonder what else will WASM bring. 🤞🏼

@prem_k I love how easy WASM makes it to run tools like Tesseract - I built this OCR tool using Tesseract.js and PDF.js and it works really well https://tools.simonwillison.net/ocr

@simon wow! Didn't know about tesseract.js.

This could potentially remove the need for RPA 😄
