LibreOffice running natively in the browser via WebAssembly

300 MiB. & … "a bit" — it takes nearly 20 seconds on "Gigabit" fiber. (312 MiB in 19.22s, or 136 Mbps.)

Runs shockingly smoothly once it starts, though.

Progress bar would be nice, without these comments I would have no idea whether to wait or not thinking that maybe it got stuck in a loop downloading the same thing over and over again or something.

Haven't explored higher-up pages. Eventually, would be nice if there were a way to download everything to one directory and run offline. Is this only a demo for now?

when i built my webapp with tons of packages, i tried to figure out if we could hook into the browser, but theres really no way that i found, my solutioj was to just make webpack split the bundles into chunks then have them announce themselves and a loading screen would tally

On what hardware? I've got a 2019 MacBook Pro with i9 and 32 GB of RAM, and there's a noticable delay (I'd guess 200~400-ish miliseconds) when clicking any elements with Firefox or Chrome.

Works fine on my current work windows laptop, 16gb ram with some budget low electricity use processor.

Probably just apple not supporting anything web related as usual.

The comment you’re replying to specifically mentioned Firefox and Chrome, no mention of Safari.

Same on a very beefy desktop Windows system.

Funny, it took me approximately triple the time on a 60 Mbps connection. Makes me wonder if its throttled from source due to a network overload.

yeah, 300mb is not nothing but also not that much. Using full speed it shouldn't take that long.

Running on an M1 Max and getting 5-10 fps. Not what i'd call smooth.

It runs smoothly for me when zoomed out but when you zoom in on a page it starts to lag. Nevertheless its quite amazing to see LibreOffice running in the browser.
