The first public release of DeskForge. This beta includes the core CLI, cloud build infrastructure, and web dashboard. We're shipping early to gather feedback from developers who want to turn their web apps into native desktop applications.

Core Features

• CLI tool (@deskforge/cli): Initialize projects, trigger builds, manage deployments from your terminal.
• Cloud build infrastructure: Remote builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux with parallel execution.
• Web dashboard: Manage projects, view build history, and download artifacts from the browser.
• Tauri wrapper: Wrap any web app in a native Tauri shell—no Electron bloat.
• Multi-arch support: Build for x64 and ARM64 (Apple Silicon) from a single config file.
