 I was just recommending this to @Josh Brown today. I have been using it so much lately. I wish it were in all the package managers though.

 I don't understand the bureaucracy of getting stuff into package managers. I guess for each you have to learn a new language for declaring the stuff and then go into months of back-and-forth or something?

 That’s fair. I think a lot of the time it’s a fan who maintains the package in the system they want it in. So I guess that means I should submit it to homebrew…

 I just realized that I had started packaging it for AUR many months ago and given up. Let me try again.

 Fantastic. I've been daydreaming about how to get it into Debian. Snap or flatpak would be easy, but sucks compared to an apt package.

 I've published the binary package, but now someone who clearly knows more than me has published the built-from-source versions. Who was it?

 @fiatjaf So glad Matt introduced me to nak — it’s awesome! It’s been super useful in the last few days since I started using it. Thanks for building it!
