Hello HN! I created https://packagepicker.co, a website that gives you a big checklist of software and spits out a command to install it using your preferred package manager.

I was always a fan of Ninite (https://ninite.com) for quickly installing software on a new PC. Unfortunately, it's Windows-only and works by giving you a custom .exe.

By using existing package managers, PackagePicker is simpler and can support multiple platforms fairly easily. It installs software in the same way you normally would with a package manager. so things like `brew upgrade` will work on both!

I'm open to feedback. Specifically, I would love to know if there are any must-have apps that I'm missing, or any apps that don't really make sense in 2023.

I also want to know if there are other popular package managers I should add, especially since distro-hopping is probably a big reason people would use something like this.

Thanks!
