To run code in the browser the solution is simple, just code in JavaScript.

For everything else, just use the desktop instead of trying to bend a 
pile of broken abstractions designed for document viewing into some kind 
of application.

I used to be a big fan of web development around 10 years ago.

Nowadays, the experience of years of web development with multiple 
languages and frameworks, just makes me advocate desktop applications 
for what is a pile of broken abstractions full of hacks to try to mimic
the desktop across multiple browsers and operating systems.

And don't get me started to discuss about customers that only pay 
projects when the web application is pixel perfect with the given 
Photoshop design.
