Why I built m17web
When introducing my fellow Austrian hams to M17, I kept hearing the same question: “How does it sound?” This coincided with my desire to experiment with Rust and WebAssembly, creating the perfect opportunity to build a tool that would answer this question while expanding my programming skills.

The system listens to UDP traffic from M17 reflectors, routes it through a proxy server, decodes the audio in the browser using WebAssembly, and presents it through a clean web interface—all without requiring any special hardware or software installation.
