Yeah, I put all of that under the umbrella of “distribution”—the last mile is a huge pain in the SaaS that SaaS CLIs shouldn’t have to deal with or even think about.

Terminalwire will handle the builds for all the different platforms, signing, etc. so companies can instead focus on shipping their unique features to customers.

I’m also going to ship clients that automatically update to match the version of the client that’s compatible with the server in a way that the client won’t even notice.

At the large enterprises I've worked at, signing with our certs had to happen on our own build machines. And I don't think there was any precedent if we could sign third party binaries that had been built for us.

Having some my-company.terminalwire.com as the signing identity could work; I bet most SMB wouldn't bat an eye to ship like that.
