I have this idea of developing an application (or a companion application to another web based application) on a client. My initial idea was to run it on a XAMP stack on the client. Although this is perfectly feasible, I was thinking of a more compact approach using javascipt+html5 (with web storage / indexed db). I think that not running a web and database server would allow my application to become less resource-intensive. Any ideas please.

What are you trying to accomplish with your app? Keep in mind if someone clears the cache, they can delete all the data that was in the local storage.
As to “resource intensive”, is this personal resources (like paying for a server)? I rarely would advise anyone in making an app that is client side only with no server side backup, unless it’s something you only need to use on one computer.
