Figure out how to make this work cross-device #12

off the top of my head, instead of saving the file on the local machine, how about google drive?

the user would need gdrive installed on their desktop. (this would be as simple as changing the path of the saved file)

or... a little more involved task would be use drive apis to sync files.

That's certainly one way to go about it. But, it wouldn't be very usable from the other device as you'd need to search through potentially hundreds of records and creating new records also wouldn't be very convenient. But perhaps something syncing the file to a storage (like google drive, for example) and then creating a mobile app that would be basically a re-implementation of the CLI Shh, and would also be able to connect to a file storage. Then the data-store file only exists in the cloud, and both CLI Shh and mobile Shh would just read/write on it.

Yes, finding and creating passwords would be hard.

A widget would be ideal for something like this, or fb messenger style bubbles. 🤔
