Unfortunately ruby doesn't run "natively" in the browser.  So if you
want to re-use the exact same code as desktop app and ruby app, you
can either "run a rails app locally and use its web interface" (then
use the same rails app on the web), or use jruby and "java web start"
to have the same program run locally and remotely.

Also related is the (non-ruby) GWT.
