Indeed, Qt is a great basis for developing a modern application with a HTML frontend. This is because Qt bundles a modern browser engine (was WebKit, nowadays Chrome) and has JavaScript support at various places (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.10/topics-scripting.html https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.10/topics-scripting.html). All this makes Qt a first citizen in the Rich user interface world where the players have names like Vue, React and Angular today. Btw, don't forget we had desktop toolkits with rich user interfaces already in the 2000s. In that time, Java was the big player. Swing was already superseded by Eclipse's SWT and HTML panels were already ubiquitous.
