Isn't the solution just to use ads to have users fund the site? What were you thinking of?

That requires running a pile of nonfree/intrusive tracking code, and many people block this kind of thing

I think s/he wants something that the users hosts together.

Ads can be blocked, reduces the value of your service and do not pay enough to cover infra cost unless you have many users.

In comparison - the resources needed to run a desktop app is 100% provided by the user.
