Thank you for the time commitment based on an internet forum comment. I appreciate greatly the succinct human written README.

Did you investigate prior art before setting out on this endeavor? https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agithub.com+password+m...

I ask because engineers need to be clever and wise.

Clever means being capable of turning an idea into code, either by writing it or recently by having the vocabulary and eloquence to prompt an LLM.

Wisdom means knowing when and where to apply cleverness, and where not to. like being able to recognize existing sub-components.

Lol no, I had no idea there was any other password managers! Thanks for the google search link! I didn't know search engines existed either!

It says literally in the README that part of this is an exercise in seeing what an LLM can do. I am in no way suggesting anyone use this (because there's a bazillion other password managers already) nor would I even have made this public if you hadn't baited me into doing it.

The fact that there's a literal sea of password managers out there is why I'm curious enough to think "maybe a one that I get to design myself, written to exactly my tastes and my tastes alone could be feasible", and that's what this exercise is about. It literally took me less time to vibe-code what I have right now, than to pour through the sea of options that already exist to decide which one I should try. And having it be mine at the end means that I can implement my pet features the way I want, without having to worry one bit about fighting with upstream maintainers. It's also just fun. I thoroughly enjoy the process of thinking about the design and iterating on it.
