Hey, thanks for the honest feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Yeah, v1 was pretty rough, I won't lie. It not even worked on a clean install. I was just starting to mess with GitHub back then, so my early work lacked proper tests, workflows, and a good release plan. That's totally on me.
I rushed v2 out because I didn't want to keep building on shaky ground. Since then, I've really focused on making things stable: adding pre-commit checks, setting up CI workflows, and testing installs on fresh VMs so i know it actually works for other people, not just on my pc.
You're also right about the words I'm using. Zero trust fits way better than zero knowledge (I literally translated from french words ๐ ), and I need to be much clearer and more exact about that in the docs.
Regarding issues, I'm still hoping more people will check it out and give feedback. But honestly, I'm always happy to chat and answer questions when they come up, that's exactly what I'm hoping to get more of.
