Thanks for your response. But by following the .Net approach(which we are already following), i am maintaining separate code base for mac OS. certainly, i wanted to avoid that. moreover in this case the file download is not simple download from a html page. its a complicated process involving credit verification,push notification etc. moreover for file download- webpage sends requests to a httpserver, which is running on client machine as part of this app. This local http server also enables our API to communicate with websites/API on users machine. i hope node-webkit provides cross platform support and enables rapid development. it also provides good support for writing http server(which is also a requirement because of legacy websites structure).

Goal of my code is to enable user's machine(through this app) to interact with our websites for download of some files on his system. these files will be on trail basis. once trial gets expired this program has to remove those files. this application will also be displaying few views to list the files based on their properties.

Hi Sergey,
Thanks for reply. reason for using node-webkit is to make the codebase common for mac and windows. node-webkit is the only thing mandatory for me. However, not compulsory but i am thinking of using angular to get the inbuilt support for data binding/MVVM etc.
As far as Typescript is concerned, i have no idea except the fact that it helps in implementing some of the concepts of high level languages like classes, inheritance etc. and finally produces the plain javascript file as output.
Since most of my team members are coming from C#/C++, i thought of exploring it further.
as i mentioned earlier, this is my first project of this nature, i am not sure of many things.
could you please put some more light on this. for example what could be pros and cons for such choices.
