I built this Wasm module mainly because I wanted it for my own homepage. It is very limited in functionality, but maybe anyone else finds it interesting. What I like the most is that developing Wasm modules in Rust is a lot of fun. The ecosystem is already quite mature for smaller experiments like this and in comparison to other languages, it provides good control over the final binary size. I still think that the size of around 100kb (uncompressed) is far from being optimal. Maybe the binary size gets smaller by cleaning up unused the dependencies or using a different serialization than bincode. If someone has any ideas, let me know.
