Pake is a utility that converts any webpage into a cross-platform desktop application using a single command. It relies on Rust and Tauri, which the README states results in installer sizes typically under 10MB and lower memory usage compared to Electron-based alternatives. Users can package websites via a command-line interface, an online builder, or download pre-built applications for services like ChatGPT, YouTube, and Notion. The tool supports features such as custom window settings, ad removal, and a range of keyboard shortcuts for navigation and page control across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Wails provides a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications by combining Go backend code with a web frontend (HTML/JS/CSS) into a single binary. It differentiates itself from traditional web server approaches by using native rendering engines instead of embedding a browser, aiming for lighter applications. Developers can use any familiar frontend technology and easily call Go methods from Javascript, with auto-generated Typescript definitions for Go structs and methods. The tool includes support for native dialogs, menus, dark/light mode, translucency effects, and a unified eventing system between Go and Javascript. A CLI tool with extensive capabilities assists with project generation and building. Wails is designed for Go programmers who want to create desktop applications or add a frontend to existing Go programs without the overhead of a separate web server, offering both a stable v2 and a beta v3.

BitChat is a mesh chat app for iOS and macOS that routes messages over Bluetooth LE when you're offline and falls back to the Nostr protocol when you have signal, with no phone number, account, or central server involved. It's built for people who want to text nearby without cell service — a protest, a festival, a dead zone — and its own whitepaper is upfront about where the privacy model still has gaps, like a persistent per-device identifier and store-and-forward messages that skip forward secrecy.
