Features#

🎐 Compared to traditional Electron shell packaging, it is nearly 20 times smaller, around 5M.
🚀 Pake uses the Rust Tauri framework at its core, providing a faster performance compared to JS frameworks and using less memory.
📦 It is not just a simple packaging tool, it also enables shortcut key passthrough, immersive windows, dragging, style rewriting, ad blocking, and customization of the product's minimalist style.
👻 It is just a simple toy, replacing the old idea of packaging web pages with Rust, and actually PWA is also good.
