When combined with JupyterLite and the jupyterlite-xeus extension, it enables easy deployment of JupyterLite with a preconfigured conda environment that includes essential packages like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and more. -While the number of available emscripten-forge packages is growing quickly, many packages are still missing from the ecosystem. +Emscripten-forge is a conda package distribution tailored for WebAssembly, enabling seamless integration with JupyterLite and [notebook.link](https://notebook.link). By combining Emscripten-forge with these platforms, users can deploy a fully functional, preconfigured scientific computing environment in the browser—including essential packages like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, SciPy and many more. -We will be working on adding new packages upon request. +This ecosystem unlocks new possibilities for interactive, client-side data science, education, and collaboration, without requiring server-side infrastructure. Packages built with Emscripten-forge will be immediately available in JupyterLite and [notebook.link](https://notebook.link), making them accessible for shareable, collaborative notebooks. -##### Are you interested in this project?
