Ask HN: If it were safe to send JavaScript in email, what would you send?

2 points by reilly3000 ↗ HN
Suspend any concern about security that comes to mind, there are so many. If you could email javascript, what would you email? What could your app email?

I would like to make useful interactive documents, data viz, and such with rich clients, but still decentralized and backwards compatible with any email system.

I cringe to think that such a hypothetical system would become a marketer's playground, even if other forms of security concerns were addressed.

Is this something worth building?

Malware. Specifically, crypto-mining malware.
