Features#

🎐 Compared to traditional Electron packaging, it is nearly 20 times smaller, around 5MB.
🚀 Pake uses the Rust Tauri framework as its underlying technology, providing a faster and more lightweight performance compared to JS frameworks, with much smaller memory usage.
📦 It is not just a simple packaging tool, but also supports features such as shortcut key pass-through, immersive windows, dragging, style modification, ad blocking, and customization of minimalist product style.
👻 It is just a simple toy, replacing the old approach of packaging web pages with Rust, although PWA is also good.

• For Linux, the icon must be in .png format.

Package Chatbot UI#

Chatbot UI is deployed locally, so it can be packaged to avoid entering the website URL every time.
