Score: 4.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 5, Utility: 4)

Goblin is a Go binary distribution service that allows users to install Go CLI tools via curl without having Go installed, resolving and compiling binaries on-demand for the user's architecture and OS. It's an alternative to the now-slow gobinaries project, adding caching, self-hosting support, and an improved API. While not paradigm-shifting, it fills a useful niche for Go developers distributing tools.

Target audience: backend devs, devops
