Implementing smach_viewer with Robot Web Tools

Hi, I want to implement a simple GUI to control the robot, and I want to do it via web browser with the help from rosbridge and roslibjs. For this project, I wanted to implement a small window which would contain the information of the smach state that the robot is currently in. So now I see a few options:

The last option seems like the most reasonable one, since I can use everything smach_viewer allows me to. The problem is, how to do it? I've seen that The Construct project contains rviz viewers so I guess there is a possibility to do this?

It's not directly what you ask for, but have you seen flexbe? Note that this is not intended as a user directed UI, but it goes in the right direction.

It seems like I would need to implement once again what I have in my current smach, and now it is pretty complex to do so. I noticed that Qt has something called webchannelsbut I don't know if they are present in smach_viewer, or even rqt
