one of my long-term goals, that sort of goes hand-in-hand with writing my PC Emulation book, is to have a web-based instruction reference for several x86 CPUs, where you can pull up a mnemonic or opcode, see cycle-execution info for various CPUs, pseudocode, implementation notes, undocumented flag behavior, and even the microcode source.

I had wanted to make this disassembler interface for a while, the disassembler has just been sitting there waiting for me to slap a front end on it. But i haven't really been happy with most of the rust web front ends. Ultimately, the best front end is no front end. Using jinja2 templates and just treating your Rust wasm blob like a fancy, browser-side PHP server is very straightforward.
