2 builders who never spoke to each other

Make installing you a command people already run

Choose the packaging and the surface so the product arrives through something the user already types or already has open, and distribution stops being a separate job. Peter Steinberger picked a language for the package manager it gave him and drives one tool entirely from the chat apps people leave running. Dru Riley names quietly replacing an ecosystem's own install step as the wedge.


The method

  1. 01

    Pick the implementation stack partly for the distribution it gives you, so installing the tool is a command your users already run.

  2. 02

    Make your tool the command people type by default in an ecosystem, and the install step becomes your distribution.

  3. 03

    Deliver the product inside the messaging apps people already keep open instead of asking them to install and learn a new one.


What it returned

  • Peekaboo is written in TypeScript for npm distribution with a Swift command line piece underneath for ScreenCaptureKit access

  • The wedge named is shipping a command line tool that quietly replaces the ecosystem's own install step.

  • Clawdbot is driven from WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Discord, Slack, Signal and even Teams
