But where is the source for the wasm part (written in Rust)? In the page itself there's only an oneliner_bg.wasm file

Very cool. I would suggest adding a default photo for folks who don't want to / can't upload a photo.

It's local. There's no upload. You can also clone it and open index.html.

Didn't work for my android firefox. Would have appreciated some sample results, at least in github readme.

Either way, after all that work, it would be smart to provide some preloaded images that work well with it so people can try it without fishing around in their filesystem for what might be a good candidate. I don't even have any on my new laptop, just some screenshots of Wordle.

It should also send someone to your house to open the file for you.

The link to it is in the readme in the same directory: https://github.com/phqb/oneliner

A complex number contains two components: a real number and a complex part which is a coefficient multiplied by sqrt(-1).

Quaternions have four components [0].

Has anyone discovered a kind of number that contains three components?

The best computations are in powers of 2 [citation needed].

If they do come to my house, please tell them to bring pizza
