Is there any alternative to an .exe to deploy node apps?
1 project | /r/node | 4 Jul 2023

It is possible, oclif is a full featured framework produced by Salesforce and is used for the Salesforce and Heroku CLI applications. I have used oclif and pkg to bundle a standalone, though I was focused on MacOS not Windows. Any node application should work with pkg, though.

One year at Ably as a Developer Advocate
11 projects | dev.to | 11 Nov 2022

During the second Ably Innovation Days, I started working on specifications for an Ably CLI. After the first day Phil and I started with a prototype based on oclif. We managed to create a working prototype in a day that lists Ably apps, and creates a new Ably app. This project is still Work In Progress.
