The file comes from wherever you have it stored in the first place (FTP, S3, SFTP, virtually anything) and viewer are plugins implementing various interfaces which are packaged up onto a zip file. With this approach, to add support for psd,

For my use case of building Filestash, WASM is a game changer in those 2 areas: 1. use libraries from ecosystem outside JS. In the past few months, I've added support for file types like psd, dbf, arrow, parquet and about 50 more. To g
