Since you don't have WiFi or cellular service in this scenario, all content must come from local storage on the phone.

You can probably run several popular developer web servers - they just need to be able to handle HTTP(S) requests and perform the necessary actions. They can probably handle common web frameworks and include javascript and other niceties. Plenty of phone-based database systems already out there.
