Thought that the source code had been released, but it seems to still be missing for now. [0] There also does not seem to have been any updates the last half year, so its interesting it came up on Hacker News now.

This causes me to ask how secure is this? Why is it not open source? Can it be trusted with your personal credentials?

I dont think it uses/sees your personal credentials - the login is done via your browser and tokens passed back to the app

I am interested in this, waiting for more comments since its not open sourced and issue tracker suggests might be issues on m1 macs

Looks like this is the V Lang guy's example project. Pretty impressive progress.
