Yes. It's still something I'm very slowly working on, but with my web app based day job taking up so much time it hasn't had any new code for months now... But yeah, it'd run on a server and you display it locally. You can also disconnect and reconnect to the application from another computer without needing to restart the app. The same api is also usable for a local desktop app or as a javascript web app. I've written a little bit for each part of it, but haven't actually *finished* any of it...
