Today I have tried my hands on Nexe . It's an open source project on Github  to create a single executable file out of node.js application. So here is my feedback. After building the node.js based app, we always question about how do we ship it. So basically, Nexe provides a solution for that. Since it packages together the complete node.js based app and converts the package into single standalone binary file, so that becomes very portable and easy to distribute. Well done guys!
