      Turn projects into shareable apps—with help from the community AND the CreatiCode team!

      Hey CreatiCoders! 🎉

      Ever wished you could export your projects as standalone apps? Imagine:
      ✅ One-click HTML files (runs in any browser, no install needed)
      ✅ Desktop apps (EXE for Windows, APP for Mac, Linux support)
      ✅ Mobile-friendly versions (for phones & tablets)

      Right now, this doesn’t exist… but together, we can make it happen!

      Why This Should Exist
      A packager would:
      🚀 Make sharing projects effortless (No more “Install CreatiCode first!”)
      📱 Work offline (Perfect for schools, events, or slow connections)
      🌎 Bring CreatiCode to more people (Standalone apps = bigger audience!)

      How This Can Work
      This can be a collaboration between the community AND the CreatiCode team!

      Option 1: Community-Led (Open Source Effort)
      If enough contributors step up, we can:
      🔧 Build a wrapper (Electron, Emscripten, etc.)
      📦 Bundle assets & code into one file
      🛠️ Create an export UI inside CreatiCode

      Option 2: CreatiCode Team Integrates It
      If the official team likes this idea, they could:
      ⚡ Add native export support (faster & more reliable)
      🔒 Optimize performance (better than a community hack)
      📝 Officially maintain it (long-term updates)

      Who’s Needed?
      👩💻 Developers (JavaScript, WebAssembly, Electron)
      🎨 Designers (UI/UX for the packager)
      🐞 Testers (Try packaged apps on different devices)
      🗣 Advocates (Convince the CreatiCode team this is worth doing!)

      What You Can Do NOW
      1️⃣ Reply below with:

      Your skills (coding, design, testing, etc.)

      What export formats you want most (HTML? EXE? Mobile?)

      If you’d help lead development

      2️⃣ Upvote this post if you want this feature!

      3️⃣ Tag CreatiCode devs if you know them! The more they see demand, the more likely they’ll help!

      Let’s make this happen—either as a community project OR an official feature! 🚀

      (P.S. If enough people join, we’ll start a GitHub/Discord to organize!)

      @CreatiCodeTeam – Would you support this? Could this become an official feature?

        @neurotex000-ed114c41 An issue is that creaticode is not open source, though it would be very easy to make an electron wrapper (I semi have experience with electron, but not much)

          @info-creaticode Can contest that this probably wouldn’t be really allowed/wouldn’t have really support between the community and official team, though they might support it. Main issue I see is really the specified intent of creaticode as not open source, plus due to how easy it would be to make a simple node electron app theres probably no need for a massive team

            Thank you for bringing this up.

            We have considered this before. The main issue is that the new extensions, like 3D and AI, all rely on our server to work, so an “offline” version won’t do much.

            If the goal is to generate a package to run a project online, such as embedding it in a webpage, then the “share link” tool already makes this possible.

            We would like to hear more about whether this new packager would be really useful for CreatiCode. If there is a strong use case, we are open to working on it ourselves or with the community.
