Really like the looks of it, but minifying the code to achieve the “400 lines” marketing gimmick is a huge turn-off.

It’s also a security nightmare, and ensures it remains 100% vibe coded. Would rather have a readable source with an honest line count.

Agreed. It would be one thing if it was a regular bash project that got minified via a script or something, since at least you could tell what it's doing.

This is just spaghetti. Maybe it's spaghetti that runs, but code of this quality does not engender confidence.

I think it's fine that it's minified, code-golf style, but yes I agree that this would be much more convincing and useful with an unminified source.

I'm not even sure why it stopped at 500 line limit. If it's just a shell script then why not make it one line?
