Tired of bloated installers and complex DevOps pipelines? I built pport.top — a terminal-based messenger — to demo a crazy simple idea: Instant CLI delivery over HTTP Just curl or irm, nothing else TypeScript on the fly via Deno Live deployment

This is actually super clean just straight to the point no fuss. You think keeping things this lightweight actually makes people more likely to give it a try?

I think that for the user there is little difference (for him it is simply impossible to make it simpler), but for developers with this approach it is much easier and faster to prototype and deliver their tools. Without unnecessary fuss.

For now, I’ve also added basic analytics: install counters and a live feed of recent messages right on the homepage (though they aren’t stored for long — they live only in memory).

I'm genuinely surprised by how simple it can be to build a site, add basic analytics, serve code, and handle installation — all at once. I honestly haven't seen an easier way to deliver CLI tools.
