For more information about qgis-js, see the talk form the QGIS UC 2024: qgis-js - QGIS core ported to WebAssembly to run it on the web platform

(The project was also presented in German at the FOSSGIS 2024 qgis-js - QGIS im Browser dank WebAssembly)

+1 from me!

Thank you for submitting your proposal to the 2025 QGIS Grant Programme. The 2 week discussion period ends today. At the end of the discussion, the proposal author has to provide a 3-line pitch of their proposal for the voter information material. (For an example from last year check qgis/PSC#58 (comment))

Thanks @anitagraser, this is the QEP335 pitch:

Let’s make QGIS officially support wasm32-emscripten to run in browsers and other JS/WebAssembly runtimes.
Upstreaming patches from the qgis-js project will align it with the QGIS roadmap and empower other projects to build on its work, unlocking new web-based GIS possibilities.
