It's cute and I can see the appeal but I think that even if you are making a "desktop app" that has its own executable, you are better off just using nice HTML. It will be cross-platform, it will probably look nicer (imo, the desktop-style looks somewhat dated). And most importantly, it won't confuse users when it doesn't behave as expected. Getting hotkey behavior etc right is hard, if not impossible -- some things change with international settings and some key combinations are unavailable to the browser anyway.
