Nice idea! fwiw, false positives and all, but the Windows 11 default Windows Security doesn't like it: `leakless.exe: Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.`

Binary app is a really bad way of storing data. No one would ever want to run a binary shared with them or found online.

For sharing, better use the html folder or zim format, Kage supports both of them.

Cool project! I know it's written in go, but it would be cool to see something like this which uses Cosmopolitan Libc + redbean or something similar to create a binary which runs anywhere. Would be fun to be able to pass around self-executable website archives.

This could be a nice code golf project. It only needs a webview, a ZIM reader, and a way to append data to an existing binary and read it back.

I did something like that a very long time ago (Of course, I have forgotten)

The README is LLM slop. This makes me assume the code is the same.

The readme is AI slop, and incredibly grating to read. The disgust I felt while reading it almost put me off trying the project.

Is the code also AI slop?

How does it handle websites with client side paywalls? Can you run it with extensions like bypass paywalls and ublock origin?
