May be a full vim running in browser?

[huangzonghao]

This may not be the best place to make a post like this. But I just cannot refrain from saying that after seeing these many feature requests in all aspects, I have a feeling that soon there will be requests for VimL support and support to run natural vim plugins. So I am really wondering would it be possible to implement a fully functional vim to run on browser, which stores all your settings and plugins locally, and that different web apps could integrate that as text-editor? What would be the major technical difficulties?

If there is such a project, I would be very much interested in contributing to.

hey @huangzonghao here are a couple projects you might be interested in:

https://github.com/rhysd/vim.wasm
https://github.com/nat-chan/vim.wasm.ipynb

i tried the binder just the other day, and it was actually p good! i'm not affiliated w any of these projects, but i've also been looking for a better vim experience in notebooks recently. just wanted to pass it along, and maybe you can contribute there 😄
