It's here: https://git.dthompson.us/guix-web/
I wrote it in 2015... surely pretty bitrotten by now. It was
basically just a web viewer for the package collection. Would likely
perform terribly given the number of packages in Guix now. IIRC
Ricardo used it for some experiment of his own, too.
A web-based UI for simply managing packages in user profiles might be
cool, if it can be done securely.
