I did try to get started with it but the nwjs binary is itself 180 MB (on mac). Looking at the docs for packaging an NW project, it seems to suggest that I will have to bundle the nwjs executable (180mb) with the project too. I don't see how it is going to be 6-7 MBs that way. Am I missing something?
Personally I don't know how to do it. But yes it is 6-7MBs. There is a video by Egghead but it is paid so if you already have a subscription you can watch it. You can check the companies using NWJS here which will give you an idea about size but it is less than Electron. Messenger which uses NWJS is 1.5MB. Checkout awesome-nwjs that might help you. I never used it so can't say about that.
There is one problem though. Not a lot of APIs & lower level stuff like Electron provides. Read it somewhere.
