This appears to be a Rust project? Why the fuck would it be distributed via npm?

Sure buddy, all your 0 users appreciate all the packaging you do

Realease only source code if you don’t like packaging, just list all dependencies and building method(I prefer Makefile :)). For me it’s ok enough.

IMO optimal way to package NodeJS apps for Linux specifically is to just make Linux x86-64 executables through SEA.

I think it’s okay to do just that, especially if one of main concerns is how fast it works.

Fresh as in the text editor, not fresh as in the web development framework.

If you’re making a rust CLI/TUI project, keep it simple. Have a cargo release, binaries generated by CI/CD and if you want, packages for whatever Linux distro you’re personally using. Definitely don’t start with npm… Yeah this person has no one to blame but themselves.

As a Linux user, I hate trying to download and use software.

Each of these installation methods has prerequisites which may or may not be installed, start again.

Ok, it’s installed, but this isn’t actually the latest version, so the feature I wanted is janky and the documentation is out of date.

Ok, the latest version isn’t actually compatible with my version of my OS. Guess I’ll try something else.

And start the cycle over again.
