There is a movement to use the same tech on desktop as you would on the web, but is anything moving in the opposite direction? Will there be a web version of QT or something? That would be great.

Maybe it's because I've done a lot of webapps. But I always found her html/css way easier to use than qt

> Will there be a web version of QT or something? That would be great. There is a Web(Assembly) version of Qt, currently as a technology preview. It's not great IMO, because it's inaccessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies. The lack of accessibility is because the current solution for web application accessibility, setting ARIA attributes on HTML elements, isn't a good fit for rendering to canvas or WebGL. Maybe the browser vendors will provide an alternative. Then again, maybe they won't, and Qt will have to work around that impedance mismatch. In the meantime, I recommend that developers continue developing web applications using web technologies directly.
