Murasaki
Next.js DX for native desktop apps
What this is
A framework that brings Next.js-style developer experience (file-based routing, Server Actions, API routes) to native desktop apps rendered in the OS WebView instead of bundled Chromium.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Uses a prebuilt Rust shell (no Rust toolchain needed) with Server Actions/API routes running in a bundled Node process; ships as .dmg/.exe/.msi with signed auto-updates.
- What's different
- Installer is larger than a comparable Tauri app's because it bundles Node; Linux support is dev-only for now; project is pre-1.0.
- Best for
- Developers who want Next.js patterns for building native desktop apps.

No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.

Dev. Launched 11d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 3 votes. Today, it's been quiet for 11 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 3 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
The Next.js developer experience, in a real native window. File-based routing, Server Actions and API routes — rendered in the OS WebView, not bundled Chromium. The Rust shell ships prebuilt, so there's no Rust toolchain to install. Server Actions and API routes run in a bundled Node process, which makes them real — and the installer bigger than a Tauri app's. Shipsapp/.dmg andzip/.exe/.msi, with automatic updates using Ed25519-signed manifests. Linux: dev only for now. Pre-1.0.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
