I'm not sure if author know about Shiny, it's basically same concept, write html GUI in R, serve with a web server. Shiny is quite mature, and I feel they have some good parts that can be inspring:

It's good to only code GUI in one language, but it's kind of unavoidable that you still need to learn html and css (even javascript) if you want to more control and customization.

- Shiny have some html tag functions to make it really flexible to construct html.

- You can customize css by adding your own.

- Shiny support adminLTE dashboard and bootstrap styles, DataTables js library, interaction with plot and DataTables.

Similar to Shiny is Bokeh for python, which appears to be trying to replicate the Shiny experience. While you can only get so much control without resorting to JS injections, it's pretty good for [select options -> search -> visualize result] type of problems.
