Safelight allows anyone to connect to the server; this is fine if you are on a restricted, trusted network (or just don't mind random strangers using your machine, with the attendent possible security risks), but it would be preferable to allow a way to lock down usage to (say) only the same IP address, or perhaps a specific whitelist.

It would be nice to be able to use Safelight for benchmarking & profiling purposes:
-- Offer a way in the UI to run the filter enough times in a row to overcome startup cost and time-slicing variation and present average results
-- Offer a way in the UI to build for the Halide Sampling profiler, and show the results in the UI. (Bonus points for a graphical as well as textual display)

It would be cool to dynamically build a UI offering different GeneratorParam settings to build with.

Halide doesn't (yet) have a JavaScript backend, but it will soon; it may be interesting to have Safelight target this backend (which would allow non-Chrome browser usage).

We should provide a way to compile for iOS targets, then push and run on locally-connected iOS devices.

It would be useful if Halide can load a video and show video output. Please give me some pointers / hints where I should begin to contribute in development of such feature.

We should provide a way to compile for Android targets, then push and run on locally-connected Android devices. (At least ARM32; preferably ARM64 and x86-32 and x86-64 as well.)

The existing build system assumes that Generators are always self-contained .cc files; it would be more useful if there was a way to express generate-time dependencies (i.e. libraries used by the Generator). and link-time dependencies (e.g. libraries referenced via define_extern).

Right now the build scripts assume that the Chrome NaCl target is x86-64, but NaCl x86-32 and NaCl ARM-32 should also be trivially supportable.

Theoretically, Safelight should be runnable on modern Windows installations, but has not been tested; it may be usable under (e.g.) Cygwin with modest changes.
