Any interest in packaging as an executable? about lineselect HOT 5 OPEN

I also have not had luck with pkg or transpiling for node's built in. Still fiddling with it when I find time.

Great idea! I was looking into ways to support at least older node versions, incl. those that are available on Ubuntu 20+ via apt. But packaging using pkg might be even better.

I couldn't get it to work with pkg. I also tried nexe but that failed, too.

Looks like node.js now has experimental support for single-executable application built-in. Thinking of trying that next but it will require to first transpiling from ESM to commonJS.

I'd love this as a packaged binary so it can be distributed in homebrew. what issues are you running into with pkg etc at the moment?

I don't remember what the issue with pkg was, but at this point I'm more interested in learning about the new node.js native support for creating executables. The next step for that is transpiling to commonJS.
