On the screenshots it looks like you packed your webapp as native. I'm nots sure if the app is downloadable, if so what did you use to pack the app with?

Edit : I found the download link at the bottom of the page and see you used Qt

The Windows app is using Qt + CEF (Chromium Embedded), the Mac app is using Cocoa with a native WebView.

Was the look and feel inspired by openvbx?

Nope (and I'm not seeing the resemblance)
