geos-wasm - Is it worth the effort?

[chrispahm]

Hi @tmcw!

I saw this repo last week, and thought it's a great idea to have access to GEOS in JS! So, after playing around with this for a bit, I finally managed to get the general concept to work: https://github.com/chrispahm/geos-wasm#geos-wasm Demo → https://chrispahm.github.io/geos-wasm/

Right now, it's just the buffer function, but after working on it I felt like there should be a general discussion first whether a) the implementation even makes sense b) whether we'd expect the benefits of this to outweigh the overall effort. I wrote most of my findings in the Background section of the readme (https://github.com/chrispahm/geos-wasm#background), so if you have a minute I'd appreciate your feedback!

Best, Christoph
