Hi, I read throughout your blog post and website but couldn't find a github link, so I gather this project is closed source. Is that likely to change in the future? For something as important as a terminal, considering all the secrets it comes into contact with, I would wish to audit it before blindly installing on my system. Furthermore, your website nor elsewhere within your online presence contains any identifiable information about you the creator, what country you are located in, a LinkedIn etc. There's no name attached and no face to the name. How can we trust this?How do we know this isn't honeypot software produced by an adversarial state actor trying to conduct industrial espionage or siphon secret keys, databases and file systems? You're expecting a lot of trust from potential users but making no effort to impart it beyond your blog post that outlines how you made it, which looks suspicious if I'm being honest.
Why have you chosen to protect your anonymity and keep the project closed source?

Thanks for the reply. No github link because yes, it is closed source (although, free to use). It won't change in the future as I'm trying to model it on the Sublime Text model.I can completely understand your concern, however, many tools these days we use are closed source (warp, cursor, sublime text, termius).
I am the creator, Jefferson Hale. Here is my linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/jeffyaw
