Turn any webpage into a lightweight, cross-platform desktop application effortlessly using Rust. Pake provides a simple way to package websites into native-like apps.
Project Introduction
Summary
Pake is an open-source tool built with Rust that allows you to turn any given web URL into a native-like desktop application, offering a lightweight and efficient alternative to traditional web-wrapping solutions.
