Pake: Turn any website into a lightweight desktop app with one command.
What problem it solves
Websites commonly remain tied to a browser instead of being available as focused desktop applications. Pake addresses this by packaging a website with customizable icons, window settings, and other application behavior.
Key features
Lightweight desktop packaging — Pake packages websites as desktop applications without bundling a separate browser engine, using the system WebView instead.

Who it may suit
This may suit developers who want to package websites as desktop applications, and users who prefer the graphical Pake desktop app without using a command line.
Topics to discuss
Which website integrations or desktop behaviors would be most useful to add next?
How should the CLI and graphical app share packaging options and configuration?
Which platform-specific issues should receive more troubleshooting guidance?
