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.
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

0·2 months agoI actually stumbled upon it by accident. I had a Windows program called “wid” and needed a platform to share it with the world; I found programming.dev, but now I’ve been filtered.

Why is it there only for testing?
