dreame-w10-valetudo-fork VS pkg

The presumed "abuse" was posting these 2 screenshots https://github.com/DeutscheKI/dreame-w10-valetudo-fork/blob/... https://github.com/DeutscheKI/dreame-w10-valetudo-fork/blob/... into this https://t.me/+uGuDHt0dNCVmODli telegram group with a polite but lengthy text about which UI changes were made between this fork https://github.com/DeutscheKI/dreame-w10-valetudo-fork and this master branch https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo/ and what the motivations for each UI decision were.

That Telegram group has 1000+ users. But Hyper found it annoying that I @ tagged him in that message. So, everyone, please calm down, our disagreement was merely about communication style.

I don't remember the details, and cannot find my notes on vercel/pkg. But looking at https://github.com/vercel/pkg right now I see the project has been deprecated in favour of single-executable-applications

> Standalone CLI — we haven’t worked on a standalone CLI for the new engine yet, but will absolutely have it before the v4.0 release.

This part is the most exciting to me. Given the rest of the release announcement, I'm assuming this means that it'll be built in Rust rather than embed Node. While I'm not a Rust zealot of anything, I'm very partial to not embedding Node. Particularly when it depends on using Vercel's now-abandoned pkg[1] tool.`

The npm package called "pkg" seems to be the standard for packaging NodeJS applications

https://www.npmjs.com/package/pkg

Unfortunately you also need to bundle all your code into a single file for it to work, but you can use any bundler (webpack, parcel, etc) you want at least

Nodejs support for "single executable applications" is getting there - this issue below is preventing wider adoption at the moment:

"The single executable application feature currently only supports running a single embedded script using the CommonJS module system."

https://nodejs.org/api/single-executable-applications.html

Should be an awesome game changer for node.js when the feature gets rounded out.

Also check out vercel's `pkg`: https://github.com/vercel/pkg/issues/1291

Yes, you can. Check out pkg for a fun option, which can package up your project and Node.js into a single executable.

Further, you could experiment with the pkg tool that allows you to package up Node JS, your source, and your dependencies into one single executable for easy distribution.

package the app using https://github.com/vercel/pkg and use a smaller base image like alpine, busybox or even scratch (if possible)
