I didn't mean implementation-wise, I meant in practice: they're both technologies that allow you to ship a zipped blob of HTML+CSS+JS that presents itself as a program, and has additional native APIs, beyond the regular HTML5 ones, exposed to the Javascript engine.

I think maybe in windows you have native bindings to windows-specific api's.. but whats is shipped here is only the UI + databindings, mvc voodoo for plain HTML5.. for aditional native api's exposed to the javascript engine, you will need something like node-webkit..
This use nodejs just to compile giving a minified js + css styles.. so it's more like bootstrap or ionic framework
