Downloaded Twine 2, got html files

Why not use NodeWebkit to make Twine 2 into "regular" application? It has also advantages over running files directly in browser as it doesn't contain some security measures that are needed on web, e.g. you can save directly to file instead of relying on local storage which can be accidentally wiped.

Someone is in fact working on this -- see https://github.com/drumanagh/twinejs-app. Depending on how this goes, it may become an official release mechanism.

Nice. I'd prefer node-webkit version over the state we are in now, for all reasons stated in OP.

Node-webkit just offers everything what regular app offer, while you still are using HTML5/JS to do it.
