Just one click through and you arrive at the README: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js (the website is clearly, unfortunately, geared towards people in the know).

nwjs (node-webkit formerly) is a Chromium wrapper that lets you deploy web apps as desktop apps, simple as that.

Atom/Electron stuff from github also allows you to package a HTML5 application as a native desktop app : http://electron.atom.io/

kinda like cordova/phonegap for desktop

Node-webkit was renamed to nw.js[1], if that helps ring any bells. Its a chromeless browser that you can run your node webapp in, that acts like a application. Similar to Fluid SSBs[2] of yester-year
