Long ago Dave Thompson wrote guix-web, which allowed you to install
packages (you’d run it as your user):
https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://gitorious.org/guix-web/guix-web.git
It’s an interesting approach with several advantages (in particular it
can be quickly developed), though I must say I remain unenthusiastic
about using web browsers for local GUIs.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
