Dear all,

 Alvaro pointed out to me that LibreOffice builds now to webasm. There is a 
thread about it in Hacker News (see link below). Of course this, as our 
attempt, is just a proof-of-concept, since most of the UI has to be revisited 
to be useful as a web application (due to limitations in the filesystem, 
different UI context, etc...). If you are curious below you find also a link to 
a talk about the Web port of AutoCAD. They had an old/large C++ codebase and it 
is quite insightful to see how they managed to have a web version. 

Best
Max
