Hi everyone,

I think we are going to choose node-webkit to build desktop GUI app. 

What framework or library do you currently use for building GUI?

Is there a library that tries to mimick the environments GUI? say if nodewebkit is running on OSX display UI differently. This is not a requirement but would be nice to have.

Also, how do you bundle the individual html, media files with the exe? I would want just one exe no source code to be exposed.

What do you use to build the installer? updating the app?

are there any competitors to node-webkit? are there notable bugs I should know about?

I use jQuery, Font Awesome and some smaller libraries. You can look to my nw-exmple - it include simple bat file for building and pack app with 7z (or you can edit it and use zip, rar or other program).

I see that node-webkit when I open it, it is already a web browser. Is there a way to run/inject javascript on currently loaded page?

You can check nwgui.Window.eval()
