In Show HN: Forgiva – Never saves your passwords but regenerates them
Theoretically stored passwords are not safe at all. Sooner or later they will get stolen if it is the case. Forgiva is actually big brother of kyle (https://github.com/esurharun/kyle) which has been at use for nearly 2 years and experienced and tested a lot. Yes, you are definitely right on that we should put roadmap on webpage. And no we are nor "nefarious" hackers neither junior NodeJS developers. :)
