I do see this as a gap/opportunity in a lot of existing markets. Huge players who dominate these areas are doing so with these giant, slow, unwieldy web apps. Look at how Figma managed to take over in the design market by creating a lighter/faster product than what everyone else was offering. I wholly endorse any other teams that want to use Wasm to kick stagnant old web apps off their thrones.

Surely Figma actually took over that market by 1) making a web-based version of a category of software that was primarily desktop-based, and 2) giving it away for free? I don't think performance has much to do with it.
