I spend a great deal of my time developing web content that ends up packaged to mobile devices using Phonegap.
I was wondering if a similar product exists for packaging HTML5/CSS3/JS web apps to work as native apps on desktops?
Whether under OS X or Windows (ideally, a multi-platform solution would be best!).
There are several cross-platform, open-source HTML/CSS/JS desktop frameworks available. The most popular, in descending order:
"The Electron framework lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It is based on Node.js and Chromium and is used by the Atom editor and many other apps."
"NW.js (previously known as node-webkit) lets you call all Node.js modules directly from DOM and enables a new way of writing applications with all Web technologies."
"Chromium-based cross-platform / cross-language application framework. Thrust is require/import-able, it lets you distribute NodeJS, Go or Python GUI apps directly through their native package managers."
"A framework for building native-quality HTML5 apps that work everywhere. Use Enyo to develop apps for all major platforms, from phones and tablets to PCs and TVs."
