So this is a redo of https://github.com/georgebrock/1pass ?

Which was just featured on HN just before the time your repo got started, it looks like. His post was here 9 days ago, your repo has been around for 8 days.

Why not give credit, if it's inspired by that? You make it sound like you created this whole idea.

@natch, I actually saw that and thought it was the same thing I was building. So I thought someone beat me to the punch.

The projects look similar, but georgebrock/1pass is a CLI to 1password db itself. It doesn't do anything to render the UI or anything like that. With sudolikeaboss, I don't actually decrypt any of the password data stored on your machine. I actually call to the undocumented API for the local 1password daemon. So it took a small amount of reverse engineering to get to this point.

In terms of age, I have actually been using a prototype of sudolikeaboss, written in Node, for several weeks.

Hope that is clear! I wouldn't ever want to say I'm using someone else's idea! I think georgebrock's 1pass is an awesome project. I also intend to port it to Go at some point. When that is done, I promise I won't say it's my own work. :)

Asking questions about the project is great, but there is no need to jump to conclusions and imply that the author is being disingenuous.

Creator here! I'd love any comments if anyone has them. This project is particularly useful for me so I was hoping others would find great use for it as well :)

Awesome little utility. I wish there's one for lastpass though, but good work nonetheless :)
