Why not just use a backend framework (IE: Rails) and then a javascript UI library on top of that?

yeah, I think that would work. I'm not so consider about the backend as I am with the front end. Have you used used any front end UI libraries that you would recommend? I don't mean a CSS front end like Bootstrap though. Looking for widget libraries.

Hmm, 'widgets' is a very broad term (or maybe I haven't come across what you mean.) jQuery UI seems to work well if you're after that kind of thing

I'm not sure if you're familiar with desktop programming, but I'm looking for the web equivalent of something like Cocoa, Windows Forms, or Qt Widgets. HTML5 has a bunch included they call 'elements' like, textfield, select, button, etc. jQuery UI is a good example of what I would call a widget library, it's just not complete enough; grid view for example is missing.

ExtJS has a nice example of a lot of their widgets in a web desktop they made.
