Dear GAP forum,

I'm wondering whether anybody has considered or implemented a version
of GAP that could be run directly in a modern desktop/laptop web
browser, so that people can run quick GAP commands online when working
from machines that don't have the software installed.

If one wanted to create something like this, how would one go about
it, and what are the challenges involved?

I am aware of SAGE, which is great for many purposes, but it's quite
different from GAP and it has a fairly complicated on-boarding process
for somebody who just wants to run a few quick commands.
