This all lowercase trend is getting out of hand. What are people even doing? Do you write everything normally then use a script to lowercase every letter? Uppercase letters have a purpose, they provide clarity. Please respect your readers. Like it or not, presentation sends a signal. Why would someone trust a security project where the author hasn’t even bothered to write instructions properly or make legible commit…

Hᴇʟʟᴏ. Iᴛ sᴜʀᴇ ᴅᴏᴇs sᴇɴᴅ ᴀ sɪɢɴᴀʟ.

What’s the point of this comment? What does it accomplish other than being inscrutable to people on screen readers?

Thanks for creating this. However, I was a bit puzzled when I found a packages.json and then saw that all the heavy lifting is done from bash. I don't understand the need for having to install Yarn for just running a bunch of bash scripts. IMHO, after seeing the size and the amount of logic within the scripts, I think you could have made it more ergonomic by just building a bash script that takes parameters and that's it.
