The point of node-webkit is, that you do not have to think about a backend. Really. If you are in the middle of you angular app and want to read a file, you just have to

require("fs").readFile("myfile.txt", ...

directly in-place. You can query databases, do requests, and so on without any problem and natively inside your angular app. Everything that node.js could do, which is everything a webserver could do.

And, in combination with NPM, you have everything you ever need just a `npm install ...` away for direct use in you angular app.
