SEA-Builder

Build a Single Executable Application (SEA) from a Node.js project with ease. SEA-Builder streamlines the process of packaging your Node.js application into a standalone executable for Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.

Features

Cross-Platform Support: Build executables for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Easy to Use: Simple command-line interface with clear usage instructions.
Customizable: Set your application's icon on Windows and specify the output executable name.
Efficient: Utilizes esbuild for fast bundling of your Node.js project.
Logging: Detailed logs help you track the build process and troubleshoot issues.
Security (Optional): Implements obfuscation that allows you to be a step ahead of those pesky reverse engineers.
