"Because we believe system administrator appreciation day should be everyday, we started building a client based on nodejs." I must be a cranky system administrator because I find idea of using nodejs for a CLI extremely tiresome in a "get off my lawn" sort of way.

Obviously. Real men and women know CLI apps are binary executables, and should be written in C, C++, or, perhaps, Go.

Sacrasm aside, saying "node.js" strongly implies use of npm, and that means pulling a lot (think deps-of-deps-of-deps) of potentially unaudited code off the network, without much authentication.

Not something one would fancy for a tool that handles sensitive data.

I was only being slightly sarcastic. I installed an app with a relatively small number of dependencies, and was shocked to see my node_modules directory contained over 100,000 files.

If you want a CLI password manager with a sysadmin mindset get pass.

https://www.passwordstore.org/

It's a bash script.

Fair play! We will propose something with less dependencies and more native support.
