As I understand, this project is abandoned since a long time.
Nowadays, you should give any new effort to developing a web based desktop application to Electron:
https://electron.atom.io/ or NW.js:
https://nwjs.io/ . And BTW, you have most of the NodeJS packages available for you to use them with those tools.
It's incredible how much work is already done by those tools and how little you have to actually code.
Good luck!
