In plain words

Wasup is a build server and CDN that compiles C programs to WebAssembly without requiring local installation of development tools. Users can submit C code and receive compiled WASM binaries ready to run in the browser, making it useful for quick experiments and rapid prototyping. The service is designed for portable, standalone programs and includes a demo using webcam functionality. It is not intended for production use.
