Hey @Coolman, thanks for the suggestion. There has actually already been a little bit of research into this already. @grymmjack was posting on Discord just recently about some work he did to be able to build electronjs-based standalone executables from VSCode. The concept actually works pretty well, though it does produce some very large executables (since it has to bundle a chromium browser).
At present, however, this isn't a major focus for me. There is already a good way to make multi-platform, standalone executables with QBasic syntax... and that is QB64. I'm not aiming to create a replacement for QB64. For me it is about extending the reach of this fun and approachable syntax to the web and mobile. Perhaps, I'll dedicate a separate thread to expand further on the motivation and goals of the project.
