If you’ve built a Blazor Hybrid app (Blazor Hybrid), you know the magic: write C# and Razor once, run on web, desktop, and mobile. But there’s always that moment in deployment where things get awkward.

BlazorPack is still a (as of early 2025). The original creator, Konstantin , built it for internal use and open-sourced it. Here’s where it shines vs. where it hurts:

Interesting question. .NET already has dotnet publish --single-file for console apps, but not for Blazor WebAssembly. Microsoft’s official answer for desktop Blazor is Blazor Hybrid (MAUI/WPF), which does not produce a single EXE.
