Looks like every other CLI manager I've ever seen. It says not ready for production use. What's different for this than the others?

Dangerously close to "scrot" which is both an X11 screenshot tool and general slang for a screenshot.

Possibly of interest to readers (but not directly competing) is securestore, our open-source, open-protocol, cross-language framework (cli tool + libraries) for securely storing secrets and programmatically retrieving them in production: https://neosmart.net/blog/securestore-open-secrets-format/ donet version: https://github.com/neosmart/SecureStore rust version: https://github.com/neosmart/securestore-rs (This one is production ready)

I thought SOPS with age is what we were doing now. Do we need yet another tooling? https://github.com/getsops/sops

How does it compare to https://github.com/jdx/fnox

I wonder what does the solution do differently than the rest of the CLI managers?
