Does ANY of these projects have a good install script?

I low-key think they make using their stuff difficult on purpose, to keep people like me out.

After all, if we could figure out how to install it, we might want to use it, too, and don't nobody want that.

I think it's just solo devs, and install scripts are a low priority when you're first working on an app.

IMO by v1.0 you should have no-code setup, but most Nostr apps are still on v0.x.

truthfully I don't built install scripts for end users, it tends to be OS specific and has the power to do a bunch of shady stuff for the user without their control. I refuse to use install scripts generally so I don't normalize it.

I do however use Taskfile.dev heavily for internal and external scripting. It better allows you to be OS agnostic, it prints step-by-step tasks, its easy to read yaml, and you can write descriptions for individual tasks and users can do a command-by-command dry run to see if I'm installing a virus.
