Chrome/Firefox Extension + Run directly in browser tab

[ryanwwest]

I'd love to replace PDF.js with this as my default PDF viewer in my web browser, even for random PDFs I open for just a minute while browsing. An extension would work well but I could also see the benefit of running the entire app through a web page (no extensions needed).

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to get sioyek working inside of a browser? I'm not sure what its architecture is like, but being mainly C code, perhaps getting it to play nicely with HTML+Javascript would be a lot of work? There's also the issue of how you would edit config files in an extension, but those issues could be worked out.

If this work were done, then I imagine it would be much simpler to bring sioyek to other extension-supporting programs like VSCode and Obsidian.

There seems to be an actively maintained Web assembly port of Mupdf at https://github.com/andytango/mupdf-js. I'm not sure how helpful that could be.
