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.

Curious what else could be built with this approach? Would love to hear your ideas.
Happy to answer any questions!
