I was thinking this could be a good option as well, but I think that still requires publishing an artifact to central / some repository - which I don’t want to do for an app (but that’s just me, haha). Also, making sure users have/use coursier is one more hoop to jump through 🤔 - ThreadSky

That's true. You need to set up publishing, and users need to have courier installed.
If your target user is not a scala developer, I'd go with `scala-cli run`. Bonus points for making some users see the code that way 😁

That said, some projects like scalafix distribute their CLI apps via coursier https://scalacenter.github.io/scalafix/docs/users/installation.html#command-line

I mean, it makes plenty of sense, given how everything else is distributed in the ecosystem. Maybe I feel like my small apps aren't worthy of the eternity of maven central 😆

😁 I'm going all-in on scala-cli , but even I don't want to pass args through `scala-cli run` all the time. I think the default `scala-cli package` command will even download a JVM, but I could be remembering that wrong - perhaps it will download the appropriate JVM assuming one is already installed.
