Tired of bloated installers and complex DevOps pipelines?
I built PPORT — a terminal-based messenger — to demo a crazy simple idea:<p>1. Instant CLI delivery over HTTP<p>2. Just curl or irm, nothing else<p>3. TypeScript on the fly via Deno<p>4. Live deployment without Docker or builds<p>How it works:<p>Visit <a href="https://pport.top" rel="nofollow">https://pport.top</a><p>Run one command (curl -fsSL pport.top | sh)<p>PPORT streams scripts and source files dynamically based on your client (curl, browser, Deno)<p>No packaging. No compiling. No friction.<p>Source on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/vseplet/pport">https://github.com/vseplet/pport</a><p>Curious what else could be built with this approach? Would love to hear your ideas.
PPORT is a tiny text-based messenger that runs directly in your terminal.
I built it mainly to showcase a dead-simple way to deliver CLI apps over plain HTTP — no builds, no binaries, just streaming source files dynamically.<p>Happy to answer any questions!
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.
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).
