I have a custom imaging device to which I connect using ethernet network cable and communication goes over udp. That happens on Windows, with a Qt application. Porting that Windows application to macOS and Linux is something we are considering.

Qt certainly makes multi-platform development easier theses days. However I was thinking here, if we can make a web app (a web site) which can connect to that device it will be even better, right? With Qt we still need to do some adjustments to make things work across all OS. But a website running in the browser just works the same way no matter the OS. And looks like javascript just becomes more and more popular these days.

So, maybe is a dumb question, but would that be possible?

Would nodejs be used in this scenario?
