Xojo Web aims to do exactly what you describe.

I haven't really used it - I'm just a hobbyist coder who enjoys the VB6 style development of the desktop version of Xojo.

Wow, a quick cruise through the documentation suggests that this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I'm looking for!

I find myself waffling between "This is too expensive for me to play around with at home" and "Considering what this does, $399 really isn't that bad..."

There is a free trial or a $100 personal use version or some such, at least there was, when I checked it out a while ago.

There's a $100 one for making desktop apps with SQLite support, which doesn't interest me. $399 gets you to the Web tier with PostgreSQL support, which is the feature set I'm most interested in.

I'm still tempted...
