I wrote a package to turn Hack applications into standalone apps using Webkit. The code is available at http://github.com/snoyberg/hack-handler-webkit. However, it's currently Linux-only. However, if I was going to write a desktop app based on an HTML GUI, I would bundle Webkit like this. It fixes such annoyances as "I closed the window but the program is still running."
