todo app has always been the least inspiring demo that has ever existed.

Are there any wasm demos (not necessarily source code) to try that would blow my mind? Genuinely interested. Maybe I have seen dozens and it's not obvious.

The todo app isn’t meant to be inspiring, it’s basically the “hello world”/fibonacci/word count for web UI stuff, tightly coupled to benchmarking, and even more tightly coupled to demonstrating DX to the already-familiar. It’s basically a way to present any given solution’s trampoline to get started doing something real. To the extent it fails at that, it’s probably because it’s already doing way too much, not too little.

I've only briefly looked at wasm and haven't used it at all so I can't recommend anything.
