I've spent all night trying different tools for building cross platform desktop apps via html5 and so far appjs seems to be perfect. I've only been playing around with the windows executable-based demo project but I'm wondering if there is any guide or tutorial on how to convert the project to cross platform executables (single files) instead of the appjs loader executable with all the sources in a subfolder.

TideSDK is the best way to create unique desktop apps using simple web technologies. The TideSDK team is currently preparing comprehensive guides to

I am interested in creating a desktop application using HTML5+webkit, and I'd like to be able to build a stand-alone executables for various target platforms like a .exe file for Windows and a .dmg image for Mac OS. I have played around with node-webkit , which seems nice except for the packaging / distribution portion. I also stumbled on TideSDK , but that project seems to be inactive. For example, the latest release I saw was a beta from November of 2012. Yet, it seems the core developers have switched to developing TideKit instead. Does anyone here know if TideKit is intended as a
