This is an incredible suggestion. Transitioning Sklad into a "UI-client-as-a-bridge" for established password managers is a fantastic idea for a v2 or a plugin-based architecture. The point about narrowing the "crypto surface area" is especially sharp. By leveraging the 1Password SDK or KeePassXC-proxy, Sklad could focus entirely on the navigation UX while delegating the heavy lifting of security, sync, and recovery to battle-tested giants. For the initial launch, I opted for a standalone approach for a few reasons:
1. Zero Dependencies: I wanted a tool that works "out of the box" for developers who might not use a specific password manager or want to keep their CLI/DevOps snippets entirely isolated from their main vault.
2. The "Warehouse" Vibe: Keeping it local-only and standalone fits the "industrial warehouse" aesthetic—you own the file, you own the key, no external APIs involved.
3. Simplicity: As a first step, building a "sovereign" vault was easier to reason about architecturally before diving into complex SDK integrations. However, I am now seriously considering a "Bridge Mode" where Sklad could act as a fast-access frontend for 1Password/KeePassXC. It would be the best of both worlds: industry-standard security with a "muscle memory" tray interface. Thank you for this—it’s given me a very clear roadmap for where this could go next! |
