As a temporary measure, it's easy to write your own web-app wrapper which overrides the UA, and install it locally, if you work out all the domains that the app needs to use - I've done this with the Twitter site so that people can get the full web version, rather than the mobile version, as that offers certain facilities (e.g. list management) not available on the mobile one.

 It looks like a
 simple UA override for rollapp.com is enough to get it
 working. I just tested and was able to launch
 gimp and libreoffice
 writer in
 webbrowser-app on desktop.
 I’ve re-opened
 https://launchpad.net/bugs/1490412
 (which you
 originally filed) to track
 the issue.
