Came to this thread to shout you guys out! I was super impressed by your presentation at Open Sauce 2025.

I am obsessed with this - appreciating every tweak you've added! Keep up the good work - signed, JRM from the leaderboard.

Amazing, thank you! Unfortunately, hi-scores are local only for now, saved in local storage. But I’m working on global, shared leaderboard and stats.

This doesn't really address your concern, but I feel obligated to share the Gatekeeper bypasses I know about:

Homebrew has an option which bypasses Gatekeeper when installing apps:

  brew install --cask app --no-quarantine

And apparently you can have this on by default:

  export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--no-quarantine"

And I have this alias for everything else:

  alias unq="xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine"

Impressively, it also quickly passed levels 1 (checkbox) and 2 (stop sign) on http://neal.fun/not-a-robot, and got most of the way through level 3 (wiggly text).

Hi, I'm Jordan Mann. I graduated from Dartmouth College in June with a double-major in Computer-Science + Human-Centered Design and Studio Art. I have a passion for making digital services more usable, accessible, scalable, and beautiful. My internships at Kard Financial and Appian Corporation focused on full-stack engineering, and I'm open to branching out! Let's chat - https://talkwith.jordanmann.com

It was a pleasure trying your demo at Open Sauce 2025!

I believe the Deno permission system[0] does what you're asking, and more.

(Deno is a JavaScript runtime co-created by Ryan Dahl, who created Node.js - see his talk "10 Things I Regret About Node.js"[1] for more of his motivations in designing it.)

Yes, explicitly asking you if you want to run the install script is the first warning (which pnpm can do too)

Then would halt due to file access or network permissions.

Could still get you if you lazily allow all everywhere though and this is why you shouldn’t do that.

Yes and you can run almost every npm packages:

  deno run npm:@angular/cli --help
