## What it is
A collection of sample applications demonstrating NW.js (Node-Webkit) desktop app development, written in JavaScript. Each subdirectory is a runnable example app, such as a file explorer, launched via npm start.

## Use cases
- learn how to build desktop apps with NW.js
- see example NW.js project structure
- run a sample file explorer built on NW.js
- find starter code for a Node-Webkit app
- explore common desktop app patterns in JavaScript

## When to choose
- you are learning NW.js and want runnable examples
- you need reference code for building a Node-Webkit desktop app

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready application rather than examples
- you are building with Electron or another desktop framework
- you need a maintained library or framework rather than sample code

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, gui, desktop-framework
- domain: developer-tools, desktop-applications, cross-platform, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: nwjs, sample-apps, examples, desktop-apps, learning, desktop, nodejs, javascript
