Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A PHP-to-JavaScript compiler project whose demo runs WordPress, WooCommerce, or Laravel in a browser tab without a server behind the pages.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-24 issue.

For: PHP runtime and framework developers
Worth noticing: The WordPress build converts 1,530 PHP files; 520 modules needed for the front page arrive first at 4.5 MB compressed.

Field notes

Compiled modules are fetched in packed parts and evaluated on first use; theme templates, block styles, and translations are fetched as the PHP code needs them. The author uses V8 sampling profiles with PHP names mapped back to examine runtime costs, and says interacting with wp-admin has uncovered bugs missed by tests. The page reports Firefox support and leaves Safari untested.
