Clean website! Do you have a comparison page between Novus and Chocolaty, Microsoft package manager?

@chrisfr Thanks! I actually do have a comparison chart between Novus and Chocolatey. You'll notice it on one of the images I have attached. I have not yet benchmarked Novus with winget yet. However, I will make sure to include this on the website.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I am Pranav, founder of Novus Package Manager, and am excited to be sharing this with you. Installing applications can always be a pain. Downloads take forever to complete and we have to go through all the tedious steps of installing them. 💡 What is Novus? Novus is a package manager designed to make your lives easier and easily install applications silently with just a single command. 🤔 Why Novus? - Using Novus, you can install packages using multiple threads, making it around 8 times faster than normal downloads. - Novus installs apps silently, in a manner such that users don't need to accept any prompts during the installation. - Novus supports non-admin installations. You don't have to go through the effort of opening a separate admin terminal. - Novus is open-source, making it easier to contribute and add packages to the manifest. - All of Novus's packages are updated and monitored daily, using a fail-safe auto-updating script. - Novus has a lot of additional features like quitting and force quitting applications. We are still in alpha release and hoping to add a lot more cool features in the future. Make sure to check out the product if you're interested and I would love to know your thoughts and feedback on this project!
