[Interest] Bringing Qt, C++ To The Web

[Jason H]

This is where you set up a server and charge for the service. Or fins a sponsor. Or advertise.
If you aren't popular, AWS has a free tier now too.
I use hub.org which has VPSs and some affordable plans. They also donante to PostgreSQL. They even donated a VM for a free/OSS project I have. (Though I also have some commercial accounts with them) 

At that point your customer just has to sign up for your service and drop in the HTML you provide them. Just like Google Analytics

Too much latency.  Also, people don't have servers.  They want to put 
this on their homepage.  Imagine what would happen if people (= average 
Joe) were required to setup and run servers just to put an audio clip on 
their page, for example.

Translating to JS is *perfect* for this.  Some applications just don't 
belong on the server.
