Hello,  
I was trying to use Interact.jl in the browser, and I ran into an issue with WebIO being incompatible with the latest WebSockets. Now, WebSockets itself does not seem to have been updated for over a year, and I understand that there is now a replacement in HTTP.jl. There is even a PR in WebIO (500) to do that port, and I tried to test it, but it is dated and I couldn’t make the tests run.  
My question is: what is the general status of WebIO? If it’s not maintained any more, is there something else I could use to make Interact.jl run in the browser? I could spend some time on this, but I’d like to have some sense of where to focus first.  
Thanks!

We’ve been planning to establish [Bonito](https://github.com/SimonDanisch/Bonito.jl) (formerly JSServe) as an Interact/WebIO replacement…  
There has been a bit of a discussion about it on discourse and GitHub…  
Nobody has had time to tackle it though, but Bonito should have everything in place to replace interact!
