Webi
Originally created by Alvin (AJ) ONeal, Webi installs cross-platform tools, from latest official builds quickly. Webi provides hassle-free, predictable installs for quick dev environment setups. No file-permissions or package manager fiascos.
How to support
Webi would love contributions on new installers for cool tools. The project is now shifting towards template-generated installers and we could use all the help we could get! Check out the repo and contribute any way you can!
A small brief about your project
Webi is intended to provide easy-to-use, cross-platform, hassle-free installation process for tools that developers use day-to-day. Installation of a tool is as simple as running 'curl https://webinstall.dev/[tool_name] | {sh/ps}'. Our arsenal of supported tools include 'node','python','git','caddy' and many more! Webi is also available as a CLI-tool. You can just do 'webi node@stable' and boom! Installation done! No package manager and no permission issues.
One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self
Doing documentation chore does not make your contribution less worthy.
Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?
Honestly, for the love of the game. Most of the tools I use everyday exist because of that one dev, quietly maintaining without expecting anything in return. So, it's only right for me to try and be that dev for someone else's project.
If your repo had a theme song, what would it be?

Which file in your project would you most like to set on fire?
test.js. The amount of pain this file put me through in dryruns is pure evil!
What's your open-source villain origin story?
Tried to swat a spam bot on the webi repo. The maintainer said 'cool, fix this fish installer issue instead.' Never left.
