Show HN: Astra – a new js2exe compiler

Hi everyone I'm new here and i wanted to introduce my project i've been working on. Astra is a simple but powerful node.js to exe compiler. It uses esbuild and Node SEA. It uses postject to inject your code to nodejs binary. It focuses more on compiling cli and Servers like pkg or nexe (express) than fullstack applications like electron or tauri. It has rich ESM and typescript support. It has good DX and cli UX. I made it bc i didn't like using pkg or nexe, they cause a lot of problems with esm.

LIMITATIONS: Now it has problems compiling projects with depencides containing binaries (e.g. bcrypt, rcedit), and it compiles only for Windows but i'm working on it

If you like it, leave a and comment what you think about it!
