Shipping a CLI binary still means hand-writing release pipelines for every OS, signing, checksums, and package registries per project
Developers releasing CLI tools rebuild the same exhausting pipeline from scratch each project: build binaries for three operating systems, sign artifacts, generate checksums, cut a GitHub release, push to Homebrew and other registries. GoReleaser solves it for Go and cargo-dist for Rust, but there is no language-agnostic opinionated zero-config release CLI for any compiled or polyglot project.
Product Idea from this Signal
A CLI tool that automates multi-OS binary releases for any compiled language with zero config, built-in code signing, and multi-registry publishing

Gap Assessment
UnderservedExisting solutions leave gaps
GoReleaser is Go-only, cargo-dist is Rust-only, semantic-release is Node-focused. No language-agnostic opinionated release pipeline exists for polyglot or non-Go/Rust compiled projects. The exhaustion complaint recurs across language communities.
