Qt is an amazing framework that has been around for nearly 30 years.  Developing with it is a great experience, probably the most enjoyable coding I&amp;#x27;ve done.&lt;p&gt;I have faith that the Qt project won&amp;#x27;t spend time shipping this if it doesn&amp;#x27;t offer advantages.  Give them time, and a little benefit of the doubt based on a very long history of excellence.</text></comment>

You can open the URL in a browser to see the interface. Only one connection is allowed &amp;#x2F; only one user can interact with the app at a time.&lt;p&gt;Technology preview since 5.10, will be &amp;quot;TP2&amp;quot; status in 5.11. See &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;blog.qt.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;2017&amp;#x2F;11&amp;#x2F;14&amp;#x2F;qt-webgl-cinematic-experience&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;blog.qt.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;2017&amp;#x2F;11&amp;#x2F;14&amp;#x2F;qt-webgl-cinematic-experie...&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;blog.qt.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;2017&amp;#x2F;07&amp;#x2F;07&amp;#x2F;qt-webgl-streaming-merged&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;blog.qt.io&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;2017&amp;#x2F;07&amp;#x2F;07&amp;#x2F;qt-webgl-streaming-merged&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Qt for WebAssembly:&lt;p&gt;The entire QtWidgets &amp;#x2F; QML libraries are compiled to WASM and run clientside. There is no server-side component.&lt;p&gt;Will be released as a technology preview in the upcoming 5.11 release.</text></comment>
