Hi,
This is precisely what Eliom is intended for. Eliom is the simplest way to program client-server applications with an interface in a browser. The program is written as a single code, with parts of the code being executed server-side and other client-side. Communication between client and server is straightforward (e.g. just call a server side function from the client).
You can now also derive the mobile app for Android and iOS from the exact same code.
Have a look at
for how to create very quickly a template application with code examples.
(You will need to pin the dev version of all packages — ocsigen-toolkit, ocsigen-start ... — as I think they are still not in opam, but they will be released in very few days/hours).
For an example of running app using this have a look a
http://www.besport.com or the corresponding mobile apps:

Hello,
I wonder how I could use Web technologies to write OCaml program's
GUI.
I’m particularly interested by the ocaml-vdom (elm) approach
simplicity.
But my need would be to add a user interface to programs using some
OCaml libraries which are not supported by js_of_ocaml (Unix, C libs
bindings…).
One solution would be to keep the GUI-less native OCaml apps compiled
and running as native code, and have them communicate with GUIs that
would run in browsers.
I'm not sure how this communication would be done, thought? Maybe websocket,
but this is something I do not know at all…
Another solution would be to have the native OCaml app directly serve
it's UI, maybe using ocsigenserver?
I'm wondering if there are some examples around with those kind of
approaches or other kind of solution?
Best regards
