This looks like a demanding project! I hope you make good headway, and get a lot of traction this new year. I'm curious, since I'm convinced consumers are deviating away from licensed native software towards web-accessible, web-authenticated product subscriptions, who your target audience/market is supposed to be? If it's targeted at native Electron and NW.js developers, can I ask what problem(s) your product might solve? I am new to product development, and I am just curious about what I'm missing.

I don't see native software going anywhere anytime soon. There are things that will never* be able to be done in a web browser, such as a GUI for certain things, or a Terminal app that runs commands on your machine. (*don't quote me on that.)

My product was developed because I've written more or less the same licensing API logic for a few different desktop applications. I figured I couldn't be the only person who didn't want to write licensing logic, especially when it starts getting more complex with add-ons, user accounts, etc. so I've been creating a solution for myself and everybody else.

Keygen solves that issue by making licensing simple for desktop applications (not only limited to Node/JavaScript, of course), as well as some web apps (most notably in my mind would be gaming or other SaaS apps, but really it could be used for many different types of web apps). I've tried to provide a better UX than current solutions, such as not requiring a license key but rather having your users login and then checking their account for a specific license.
