Consider adding support for being a WASM application

Since I've been getting into Rust-based WASM applications recently, I thought I'd ask if this had ever been considered for Noaa-Apt? It seems like it would be a great candidate for it, as it means there would no longer be a need for a native app via GTK and could instead just be accessed via a browser window. It could even be hosted somewhere for cheap, even on the current website, and since the processing would be able to be done locally, there would be no server processing costs involved.

No idea if that's something the project would be interested in, or the direction it would want to move. But, there are some great UI options now for Rust and WASM, such as egui, or even Leptos, that could work for this. Just curious to hear what other's might think about this proposal. :)

(Apologies if this wasn't the right place to suggest this. Feel free to move this to Discussions if desired.)
