Jan 22 2018 Introducing Guest Posts

One of the goals while build­ing the new Mag­num web­site was to lower the bar­ri­er for con­trib­ut­ing con­tent. With Git and Git­Hub it’s already very easy to con­trib­ute code to the pro­ject it­self, so why not ex­tend that to the web­site as well?

Along with dropped sup­port for NaCl, Mag­num now has first-class WebAssembly sup­port. I also took this op­por­tun­ity to over­haul the out­dated Show­case page with WebAssembly builds and there is a bunch more Em­scripten-re­lated good­ies all over the place!
