## Introduction

NW.js is an app runtime based on `Chromium` and `node.js`. You can 
write native apps in HTML and JavaScript with NW.js. It also lets you
call Node.js modules directly from the DOM and enables a new way of writing
native applications with all Web technologies.

It was created in the Intel Open Source Technology Center.
