This doesn't answer your question, but as an aside, there is a
web-application framework called Wt:

   https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt

Wt shares some of the Qt philosophy -- application code (and the
Wt library) is written in C++, it is widget-based, and it uses signals
and slots.  I don't know Wt's history, but I think Qt that significantly
influenced the design of Wt.

Of course, high-level similarities notwithstanding, the details are
entirely different.  You couldn't, for example, compile a Qt application
into a Wt application.

But if you like Qt and were starting a new web-application development
project, Wt could make sense, and if you really needed to port a Qt
application to the web, porting from Qt to Wt would still be a substantive
port, but the similar philosophy might make the port a little smoother.

Good luck!
