nativefier: Make a desktop app for a website.
$ nativefier ${url}
try on your machine

The command "nativefier ${url}" is a command-line instruction that uses the "nativefier" tool to create a native desktop application for a specific URL.

"nativefier" is a command-line tool or an npm package that allows you to wrap a website in a standalone application with a native wrapper for various operating systems (like Windows, macOS, and Linux).

"${url}" is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual URL of the website you want to transform into a desktop application. For example, if you want to convert "https://www.example.com" into a desktop app, your command would be: "nativefier https://www.example.com".

When you run the command, nativefier will package the website into an application with its own icon, window controls, and other native features. The resulting application can be installed and run like any other desktop application, providing a dedicated and more integrated user experience with the website.
