I made a new tool called HTML Build that auto-generates Linux, Mac, and Windows apps from an HTML file. To make an app, use the HTMLifier, then upload the HTMLified project and an icon ( in PNG format ) to https://html-build.easrng.net/, type in a name, choose the platforms you want to build for, click Build, and wait. And wait. And wait. When it's done, it will download a zip file for each platform you chose. On Windows, there will be a .bat file named Launch. On Mac, it's an app named nwjs. I don't remember what I did for Linux.

How It Works
This is a web app that downloads zipped copies of nw.js, adds the necessary files with jszip, and saves the zip. No information is sent to any servers. I hope you all find this useful!

Sorry, doesn't work. Keeps crashing my browser page.

Oof. It uses a lot of RAM, because it stores 3 versions of nw.js in memory at once, and builds them all in parallel.

You should add checkboxes, because, for example, someone is a Windows user, and he does not need the Mac or Linux app.

Does the HTML file need to be a converted Scratch project or should others work?

Others work too!

Wow! I'll try this!

Great!

I would love to use this, but CORS policy is blocking the fetch for Windows and Mac nw.js

Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening?

I did some Googling and found this in the Mozilla Developer's site or whatever it's called:

“The response to the CORS request is missing the required Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, which is used to determine whether or not the resource can be accessed by content operating within the current origin.”

Not sure if there's anything I can do about this on my end as I'm not familiar with this stuff, but hopefully this is fixed sometime soon.

Maybe the Windows and Mac nw.js .zips could be predownloaded by you and put on your website to bypass the CORS policy, if that's legal. It seems that only the Linux .zip is hosted on Glitch's CDN servers, which allow for cross-origin requests

Oh, the CDN I was using is down. I'll fix that today.

It's not working for me. I don't know why.
