Hi!

I thought it would be interesting to have a purely web-based version of c2t. I've made a prototype, and I'd love to discuss how/whether it would make sense to integrate with c2t, co-host and promote as a sibling project to Apple Disk/Game Server, etc.

The prototype (source at https://github.com/jepler/web-c2t/) allows you to upload a disk image (dsk, do, po) and perform the conversion to audio locally within the web browser. No data is transmitted on the internet, and no server or back-end is necessary. This lacks a ton of polish, format/no-format and hifi/8k options, etc. I know enough about web technology to cobble, but not to make a polished final product.

Similar to the Apple ][ Disk Server, after conversion you just LOAD on the Apple II and then hit play on the generated audio file.

I've transferred a couple of disks this way, such as Zork III and it seems to work just as well as the Disk Server or using c2t locally.
