Hi fellow Svelters! I just concluded an investigation to know whether it's possible to use the experimental Node SEA feature with SvelteKit, and I'm thrilled to announce that the answer is yes! You can read all about it there:

Very interesting, as it would omit the need for electron packaging,(or does it use electron)? Does it also work with static adapter builds? When can we expect a stable release? Hopefully it'll become an official adapter!

Thank you! It's pure Node, no need for electron nor build tools. I'm not sure it would make sense with static builds, you can serve your files with tools much smaller and faster than a 130MB Node binary. As for the release date, I'm waiting for maintainers to approve the concept before opening a PR.

Nice but I think one big feature that electron still has over this is auto update. But hey maybe somebody will solve this too!
