      You must be kidding. The CLI is far from a web browser and there is no need to running TypeScript at all for this task. Build it in Go, Rust or Zig that is more suitable for this task.

      • There’s a new proton drive CLI
      • That’s good
      • The CLI is implemented in TypeScript
      • That’s bad
      • It is available on Linux
      • That’s good
      • It pulls in a massive node_modules directory
      • That’s bad

    Um… Disappointing. Why does it have to be CLI? It’s good for some things, not great at others.

      Getting a CLI version done first is kind of a natural step forward, with GUI and desktop integration to follow next.

      Getting the basic functionality working is usually an early step. Then later you build a GUI. They did the same with Proton VPN.

        I have their CLI VPN client on my laptop under LMDE7. Wrote two zsh scripts to handle connection/disconnection automatically depending on my wifi connection. Very handy.
