Been allows you to convert a statically exported web app into a single executable. It's a simple convenience wrapper around justine.lol's amazing redbean project.
Redbean makes it possible to distribute a web application as a single-file executable that is portable, meaning that it will run on Linux, macOS or Windows.
Been takes a single argument, a directory of files to be served. Once run, it will create a sibling file to the directory appending .com to it's name.
been ./dist
# ./dist.com server created
./dist.com -p 8080
"scripts": {
"build": "next build && next export && been ./out"

}
"scripts": {
