@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. :)
