But please be realistic:
There is no way to port an application to the web by just recompiling.
It just can't be done. Think database access, file access etc.

If you want to work using the web, you must program for the web:
client/server. The browser is an extremely restricted environment.


Damn straight! I fully agree.  I have developed quite a few grey hairs
since we took on a web based project.  :)  Give me normal GUI based
apps anytime over web based apps!

I agree as well. My idea is to make apps that are (internally) client-server. The server is written in FPC and does EVERYTHING but draw. The client does the drawing. If the client is a browser then the server sends html and javascript commands to draw it. If the client is a normal GUI then the server uses lazarus widgets to draw. In the later case the client can be embedded together with the server. Of course I can only use widgets that I can also access via javascript.

I haven't fully ironed everything out, put this is the idea.
