Hello,
I recently converted an application with lablgtk2-based GUI to
a web-based GUI. The body of the application has been transformed
into an XML HTTP server using ocamlnet, and the GUI has been
re-implemented using js-of-ocaml.
See http://www.irisa.fr/LIS/softwares/sewelis for description of the
app, and access to open source.
See http://www.irisa.fr/LIS/ferre/sewelis-servolis/index.html for the
online Web application.
Don't have time right now to expand, but I am very happy of the move.
Best,
Sébastien
