Build Better Desktop Apps with Ember
summary
Shows how to run an Ember app inside NW.js by adding the NW npm dependency, setting router location to hash, and using an Ember CLI node webkit add-on that wires main, hot-reload, and require shims. Demo builds a markdown editor that runs in Chromium and as a desktop app, uses fs.watch for live reload, exposes node APIs via process.main module.exports for testability, runs tests in NW via Testem, and packages binaries with node-webkit-builder — demos succeed and produce working executables.
