Project 1: Improve BrowserPod
BrowserPod (browserpod.io) is an in-browser code sandbox that runs Linux applications compiled to WebAssembly with the help of our provided full Linux syscall interface. At the moment it supports Node.js, Rust and C++, with more coming soon.
Your task will be to compile as many open source projects as possible to WebAssembly and fix any issues in BrowserPod that you find along the way.
Project 2: Improve CheerpX
CheerpX (cheerpx.io) is a Virtual Machine from x86 to WebAssembly with a powerful Just-In-Time compiler that builds WebAssembly out of the original assembly. It is used to run, for example, full linux distibutions and graphical applications.
