Hi HN, I'm the creator of `vet`. I've always been a bit nervous about the `curl | bash` pattern, even for trusted projects. It feels like there's a missing safety step. I wanted a tool that would show me a diff if a script changed, run it through `shellcheck`, and ask for my explicit OK before executing. That's why I built `vet`.

The install process itself uses this philosophy - I encourage you to check the installer script before running it!

I'd love to hear your feedback.

The repo is at https://github.com/vet-run/vet

The idea is great. Vet will work for people who can run the code displayed. Right now my skills are not high enough. Unsure wether I sit with the majority or minority of future users.

My 2 cents
