I clicked on this hoping for an actual compiler. However from what I can see this is a bundler. The name is confusing.

Thanks for the feedback! You're right - Astra is technically a bundler-to-executable tool, not a source-level compiler like Babel or TypeScript.

I called it a “compiler” in the sense that it transforms a JS project into a standalone .exe, similar to how tools like pkg or nexe are often described. That said, I’ll consider clarifying that in the description to avoid confusion. Appreciate the comment!

Honestly, I would drop calling compiler altogether -- it's just not a compiler. It doesn't make it any less cool though!
