@xoron Does it have to be compiled to WASM?

fraid so. i would prefer to avoid it, but it seemed nessesary. i had an older version of it that was using the js primitives from the browser, but the issue there was that crypto primitives were not always provided by the browsers and different browsers have their only roadmap for supporting it.
so rust to wasm was a reliable way to get the crypto primitives needed. that was how it was done on several other projects including the official signal one.
@xoron Yes I understand that, I was more wondering if it couldn't have been a more general library which could compile to x86 or ARM?
i havent considered those compile targets. i supose it could be done. is there not something already out there? my version is created specifically for the browser environment.
i think it would be better to start off with the official version and take it from there.
Perhaps useful, so just bringing it up. The #Makepad team are in their presentations always particularly proud in how they make #Rust builds in mere seconds across the full range of compile targets. They make builds after live coding *during* the presentation. Perhaps some of their methods to achieve this are applicable for you. Other than that, watching a recent Makepad presentation is inspiring, as their project is an impressive feat.
Btw, #Robrius uses Makepad and perhaps has similar approach to compiles, idk really. It is another cool initiative, who build #Robrix a matrix client with their app framework.
