Let me address this and the comments asking 'why' below:

There are GUI libraries for Common Lisp. CommonQt+qtools is essentially the gold standard, and everyone seeking to make a GUI application should use it.

I like the web, it lets me design applications with a precision native GUI tools don't have. And you can make an app that runs on the localhost and you can access through the browser: I do this for some applications I've written.

The problem is distribution: most users won't really know what's going on when they run an executable and it opens a terminal window and a browser window to some weird URL called 'localhost:41000'.

So I wrote this.
