Developing a Chrome Desktop App

I would like to get a good tutorial on building a chrome desktop app.

I found some good ones for Chrome Extensions, Chrome Apps that don't do anything but redirecting to a website - What I want is an app like Any.do, like Google Keep, like Sunrise Calendar: Apps that work without chrome and in a different window, but I hope I can make one with HTML-CSS-JS.

Do you know where I can find any documentation for that?

Thanks!!

This was previously called a "packaged app", and now is simply called "Chrome App", as opposed to what's called "hosted app" (link to a website).

The main documentation is here.

Note that Chrome Apps have, in some regards, more power, but they don't integrate much with the browser as Extensions do. They are intended to behave as self-contained. They don't work completely without Chrome, but they do have independent windows.
