What Hacker News says

Totally agree on the HTTPS. Wanted to change it for a while but life kept on the way. Changed it now, it's live on https://get.shellshare.net. I also agree on the bad sides of the "curl pipe sh" pattern. Ideally, that command would be "apt-get install shellshare && shellshare", but haven't been able to write packages for it yet. There're 2 open issues about this: https://github.com/vitorbaptista/shellshare/issues/28 and https://github.com/vitorbaptista/shellshare/issues/31, if you or anyone else have some time to contribute.
In Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?
As usual, you can never be sure unless you read the code, luckily, it's very small: https://github.com/vitorbaptista/shellshare/blob/master/publ... The only thing sent to shellshare's servers is the text in your bash terminal. There's no return channel for the servers to send commands back to the computer. You could argue that you're giving control of the terminal because you're running a third-party executable, but that's the same for any executable you run.
