Astra is a newly introduced JavaScript to executable (js2exe) compiler, which aims to convert JS applications into standalone executables. While initial reactions are positive, there are several areas for improvement highlighted by users. Key feedback includes the need for better documentation, especially regarding target machine specifications and actual capabilities of the tool. Some users express confusion about Astra's positioning; they feel that it resembles a bundler more than a traditional compiler. Users suggest clarifying its functionality and differentiating features over existing compilers, particularly its improved support for ES modules compared to alternatives. There's also concern regarding the clarity and completeness of its documentation. For Astra to succeed, addressing these feedback points will be crucial, focusing on user experience and clearer communication of technical capabilities.
