Create native Desktop applications with NodeJS
node-ui adds additional GUI core modules to node. The goal is to provide a good cross-platform wrapper with a clear migration path towards pure web-apps (eg. for apps that require a lot of bandwidth).
node is embed as a static or dynamic library so no child processes are needed. Eventually this will allow to create applications written in Javascript to be distributed as a single self-contained MyApplication.exe or MyApplication.app

var ui = require('ui');
var window = new ui.WebWindow(400, 300, "Hello World [ACTIVE]");
