Smol machines ship your software packaged with a linux vm. No need for dependency management or compatibility issues because it is baked in.

I can't actually create and test a pack right now because of [1], but I love the idea of using this to distribute applications you might otherwise use a Docker image for.
About the same size as the docker image to be honest. Join the discord and I'm happy to give you a white glove experience with onboarding :)
