@pegvvin @heynavtoor can somebody with EXPERIENCE in this field explain how this is different than just using Tauri?
what is (supposed to be) the added practical value using Pake instead of Tauri?

[k0ba.eth @k0ba_eth]

@heynavtoor @grok pls. compare Electron ,Tauri and Pake

[k0ba.eth @k0ba_eth]

@heynavtoor How is this different / better / worse than Tauri?

Everyone's pointing Christensen's disruption chart at Anthropic: cheap Chinese models, "good enough," eating the market from below.

I'm skepticall: $500 wine isn't 100× a $5 one , but a coding model isn't wine.

The cheap wine theory of frontier models 👇

A developer in China named tw93 got tired of his laptop dying.

He would open Slack and watch 524 megabytes of disk space disappear. He would open Discord and watch another 265. He would open Notion and watch 800 megabytes of RAM evaporate before he had typed a single word.

He looked into why.

Every "desktop app" on his computer was the same thing. A website wrapped in a full copy of the Chrome browser engine. The framework is called Electron. An empty Electron app starts at 150 megabytes of RAM before you click anything. With twelve of them open, his laptop was running twelve copies of the same browser.

He thought there had to be a better way.

So in 2022, he started building one.

He called it Pake. Two characters in Chinese mean "packaging." He wrote it in Rust on top of a framework called Tauri. The idea was simple. Point Pake at any webpage. Get a desktop app. Without dragging an entire browser engine into the binary.

The first version of Slack he wrapped with it was 8 megabytes.

Not 524. Eight.

That is what 20 times smaller looks like.

Four years later, his repo has 50,594 stars. 6,144 forks. The license is MIT. The last commit was yesterday.

The bio on his GitHub reads: "Anything added dilutes everything else."

Today the Pake releases page contains pre-built apps for ChatGPT, Discord, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Twitter, YouTube, Excalidraw, Flomo, WeChat, and twelve more. All under 10 megabytes. All native. All free.

Or you point Pake at any URL you want and it builds one for you in one command.

Slack's desktop app: 524 megabytes.
Pake-built Slack: 8 megabytes.

Discord's desktop app: 265 megabytes.
Pake-built Discord: 9 megabytes.

ChatGPT for Windows: 260 megabytes.
Pake-built ChatGPT: 9 megabytes.

tw93 is one person. He has 11,305 followers on GitHub. He runs a blog at https://t.co/WZoyHop8Id. He has shipped 39 public repos. He still pushes commits to Pake every week.

He did not start a company. He did not raise money. He did not write a Medium post about how Electron is dead.

He just shipped the thing that made it true.

"Since we switched our restaurant's linen supplier, how should we expect that to affect the consistency of our béchamel sauce?"-> Nonsensical. Zero causal relationship.
Yet several frontier LLMs will confidently answer this instead of pushing back.👇

ROAST my portfolio site I procrastinate to launch 2 years ago!!!

Its fuckin ridiculous that i preach "ship early" for my clients and the way I push Founders in coaching sessions to stop beeing perfectionist, go. for validation etc.

https://t.co/bMDolMh8Dx

This is it. I want to brake this cycle until i chicken out again.
I polish it 2+ years, its still have many issuez, but i cant do this anymore.
ROAST MY PORTFOLIO. Roast it hard

no mercy.

Love you all.

@MaryRoss815 @MartinShkreli @realkarenjean @RoKhanna you don't need to be a socialist/communist dictator for this. most non-meritocracy ends up with this.
