The program should be easy to acquire.

• Automatic CI builds for every release
• Copy-paste commands to easily download and install binaries #19
• No internet connection should be required after the program is downloaded Embed Primer CSS in application #9
• Strip linux binaries when releasing #15
• Code signing
• macOS notarization?
• macOS fat binaries?
• When downloading binaries using curl | bash and the like, consider emulation capabilities of the host. #31
• Patch release for older versions can break latest version detection of install scripts. #40

It would be cool if this program was easy to install using operating system packages managers. Here are a few:

• Debian packaging
• Homebrew packaging
• pkg-src packaging
• FreeBSD Ports packaging
• Nix packaging
• Windows packaging (Choco, winget, Windows Store, Scoop, etc.)

Note that currently winget does not support standalone executables

This has some good inspiration on how you can use GitHub actions to publish to the Windows Store. Windows store apps can include command line apps.
