AI Analysis

●MidShip It

Yet another winget GUI wrapper, but the shareable setup links are convenient.

Strengths
  • •Silent background installs using official winget sources — no modified installers.
  • •Shareable deck links replace README instructions for team setups.
  • •Zero telemetry collection, installs come directly from developer repos.
Weaknesses
  • •winget already supports export/import — this wraps existing functionality.
  • •Ninite solved bulk app installs 15 years ago with the same value prop.

Post Description

I made a desktop app for Windows that lets you find apps and add them to lists (I call them decks). I also plan to add more features such as adding config files, scripts that need to run etc.

So basically it would allow you to create setups that you can install and share via links with much less work than doing it manually as they install in the background.

To install the apps I only use winget so it's as safe as winget is. I also plan to use homebrew to achieve the same functionality for Mac.

Any feedback is welcome!
