Repository for draft blog post based on cpp2wasm guide. Blogs will be published at https://medium.com/@eScienceCenter

• audience: RSEs
• approach: text before code, include code if it supports the story
• each blog has a focus and will try to minimize distractions, for example React blog should not use web worker and plot blog should use straight vegalite not react.
• each blog has its own code, will make sure all they expand the first blog

The blog topics are

1. Using C++ in a web app with WebAssembly
2. Help! My C++ web app is not responding
3. Interact with your C++ web app using React forms
4. Spice up your C++ web app with visualizations
5. C++ web app with WebAssembly, Vega, Web Worker and React

Blog ideas:

1. when stuff goes wrong, handling exceptions from C++
2. computation takes too long for browser, use a web service running on a server with Fastify
3. computation blocks my service, use thread pool
4. My head can't process React, show the form using Vue.js
5. I don't wanna learn a JS framework, give me a form with vanilla js
6. I don't like JavaScript, give me Python, use pybind11 to interact with C++ from Python
7. Expose C++ on the web using Python, use a web service running on a server with connexion
8. is it done yet?, give progress during calculation, use Celery (Python)
9. My C++ program needs sockets, can I use those? Explain limitations of Emscripten, use web socket and in-memory filesystem as examples
10. How to build WebAssembly with a dependencies like boost, explain bundled standard libs and https://github.com/emscripten-ports
11. Using a web worker and WebAssembly I would like to know how to report progress of the calculation back to the user. Also my computation should be stopped when the user submits again or presses a cancel button.
12. Current code does not throw exceptions, but may be usefull to explain how to convert error number to message. See https://emscripten.org/docs/optimizing/Optimizing-Code.html#optimizing-code-exception-catching
