Where in the world are you getting that this project is for "normies"? Installation steps are terminal instructions and it's a CLI, clearly meant for technical people already.

If you think copying-pasting an API key is too much, don't you think cloning a git repository, installing the Rust compiler and compiling the project might be too much and hit those normies in the face sooner than the API key?
