[Qt-interest] Qt programs that I can run in browser

[Jeroen De Wachter]

Hey Nicholas,

Could I just ask why you don't want to use wt?
It seems to do exactly what you need (except if you want your Qt
application to also be available as a desktop program, I guess, in which
case you could still simply use a browser)

Also, if memory serves, their developer licenses aren't *that*
expensive...

I think it can even be combined with Qt relatively painlessly (I once
saw a presentation on wt by one of their developers and I remember
asking him about it).

Kind regards,

Jeroen
