That's a really interesting thought. I think it would be worth seeing if OGR/GDAL can be ported to wasm.

Next would be GRASS.

JSTS is pure JS and does a lot of vector GIS fine.

I think those three things and a decent UI would be an absolutely killer Web app for the general public to do more GIS.

Yep, here's GDAL ported to WASM https://github.com/ddohler/gdal-js
