    what is wasm-console / what is a wasmshell?
    • rajatjindal0083 2y ago
      wasm-console (formally wasmshell) is a webassembly component that can help you explore the filesystem, make network requests at the moment. The idea was born when trying to debug why my component could not access a particular file and I really wanted to be able to do "ls" on the filesystem to see what is there.

  Cool! I also built a WASM console a while ago using Zig, Clang, and slightly modifying various BSD utilities. There is a browser demo at https://cowasm.sh/ https://cowasm.sh/ , but you could also run it in a terminal and access your local files (similar to what your WASM-console does). Anyways, thanks for sharing your console.

  Please don't use animated gifs to demonstrate what your project does. It's hard to read while it's moving. A shell transcript is better.

    thank you for your feedback. I will change that back to a shell transcript.
