Show HN: Install CLI Apps via Plain HTTP – No Docker, No Binaries, Just Curl
Tired of bloated installers and complex DevOps pipelines? I built PPORT — a terminal-based messenger — to demo a crazy simple idea:

1. Instant CLI delivery over HTTP

2. Just curl or irm, nothing else

3. TypeScript on the fly via Deno

4. Live deployment without Docker or builds

How it works:

Visit https://pport.top

Run one command (curl -fsSL pport.top | sh)

PPORT streams scripts and source files dynamically based on your client (curl, browser, Deno)

No packaging. No compiling. No friction.

Source on GitHub: https://github.com/vseplet/pport

Curious what else could be built with this approach? Would love to hear your ideas.
