I already use tags for releases. The commit hash is for development. You can check the releases page.

No, it’s written with my hands and a lot of coffee. You can check the code. It’s open
No PhD, just Win + . and a lot of Rust. But thanks for noticing!
The URL is static. The content is dynamic because I update the Gist. That’s how Gist works.
I’m a markdown expert, and i type emojis using Win + . no AI needed.
You’re absolutely right. Trust is the real challenge, and I’m just starting to earn it. That’s why I keep everything open and plan to add checksum verification. I know it takes time. I’m in it for the long run.
It’s open source. Anyone can audit it. You can create your own sources.list, but if you distribute it, you must open the code. Also, “wid info <package_name>” shows the exact URL it downloads from. Example: wid info llvm shows the official GitHub release link.
I use official links and check versions.
I think you should use wid. I already use my own download tool. It’s better than winget, choco, and ninite.
No, when I edit the gist, the URL doesn’t change. There are 32 packages right now. I’ve just added Epic Games. I use GitHub Gist.
Actually, it’s not static. I’m updating the package list.
Actually, I have a Gist for this that you can use. I update the Gist from time to time. In fact, the
sources.listfile can be customized specifically.
I didn’t delete it. The admin removed it due to bot/LLM accusations. I spoke with the admin and resolved it. I’m not a bot. Since the original post was gone, I created a new one. I’m not hiding anything.
Where is the evidence?

Wid is a package installer, not a writing assisant. It installs software on windows

1·24 days agoI woke up at 2 AM, feeling 3 cups of coffee were not enough to debug the 5 errors in my code. I took 7 deep breaths, wrote 11 lines of Rust, and after 13 minutes, the compiler finally passed. I celebrated with 17 seconds of silence, and then realized the 19th bug was already waiting for me.

1·24 days agoNice try! 😄
wid doesn’t have a debug mode that lists files, nor would it ever expose your home directory. That would be a massive security hole, and I’m not about to build one.
If you’re genuinely interested in debugging or auditing wid, the entire source code is open and available here: 🔗 https://github.com/ZeSystem-Inc/wid
You’re welcome to review it, build it yourself, or run it in a sandbox. But no, I won’t be listing my — or your — home directory.
Stay curious, stay safe. 🦀

I use git regularly. Commits, tags, and releases are all there. If you see something specific I’m doing wrong, feel free to point it out.
