Desktop Apps With deno desktop — Deno 2.9 (or the 'canary' build now) can turn JavaScript projects into self-contained apps on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Unlike Electron, you can opt to use the default OS WebView or a bundled Chromium backend, plus you get cross-compilation and automatic support for apps built on frameworks like Next.js and SvelteKit.

📉 It's not in the post, but a --compress option gets packaged app sizes down a lot – from 65MB to 19MB in my test with a basic app.

Catch Runtime Bugs Before Your JS PR Merges — Some JavaScript bugs only show up after the app runs. Greptile reviews each PR with full repo context, runs the code in a sandbox, and returns screenshots, logs, and traces as proof of what broke. Use Greptile in GitHub, GitLab, or from your terminal.
