By "... compile an app to a standalone binary", do you mean that you would like node-webkit/appjs to convert your HTML5/JS files to ObjectiveC? That would be really amazing, but this is just like phonegap/cordova. It basically shields your files around a webkit wrapper.

I mean being able to compile to a .app file on OSX, .exe on windows, etc. TideSDK can do this in a wrapper-type of way like you mentioned.

Yes, node-webkit does that too. Check out: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/How-to-package...

TideSDK handles the packaging and bundles everything into packaging native to the platform. You don't have to worry about what to include because it is gathered and packaged for you.
