🚀 wid v1.0.0 – The Fastest Installer for Windows

wid is a fast, lightweight, free, and non-blocking package installer for Windows, written in Rust.
It brings the philosophy of apt and pacman to Windows, but does not resolve dependencies — instead, it uses scraping to find the latest versions.

✨ Features

  • 🦀 Written in Rust – memory-safe, zero-cost abstractions, ultra-fast.
  • ⚡ ~2 MB RAM usage – significantly lighter than winget and choco.
  • 🌐 Direct TCP + rustls – achieves ~99% bandwidth (no BITS or Schannel overhead).
  • 🕵️ Scraping (Web Scraping) – extracts real .exe and .msi links from HTML pages.
  • 📦 No Dependency Resolution – leaves dependency handling to the application's own installer, eliminating a major source of fragility.
  • 📝 Your Own Repository – you manage your own sources.list file, independent of any central authority.
  • 🔓 GPL v3 – fully free and open-source; fork and modify as you wish.

📥 Installation

1. Download the wid_installer.exe file.
2. Double-click the downloaded file.
3. Follow the installation wizard.

Once installed, you can use the wid command from any terminal (CMD or PowerShell).
