HomeChef: Smart cooking app showing off Qt's WebAssembly features
summary
HomeChef is a Qt demonstrator that glues an iMX6 Linux device, a WebAssembly web app and an Android/iOS mobile app together with MQTT over WebSockets to sync recipes, shopping lists and live camera/WebGL feeds; it uses Qt Design Studio for reusable animated widgets and deploys videos via Qt WebEngine. WebAssembly builds run as 17–20 MB binaries with 1–3 minute client compile times, an MCU port produces a ~10 MB hex on STM Disco/Cortex‑M7, and the setup works with some filesystem and build-time caveats.
