This is actually precisely how package management works in Linux today... you release new versions, package maintainers package and release them, while ensuring they actually work. This is a solve problem, it's just that nobody writing JavaScript is old enough to realize it's an option.

- dingdingdang 2y agoMy exact thought as well, simply point the user to a well established and proper channel for auto updates and then the dev simply needs to upload/release to said repos when a new version is put out. As an aside: Chocolatey is currently the only (stable/solid) way to consistently keep things up to date on the Win platform in my book.
