The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the possibly overloaded uses of the ssh-agent ... #radicle is not really using it for ssh, as far as I can tell, but just as a general public/private key client interface?
I typically use the authentication keys from an opengpg smartcard, and not entirely sure the ssh-agent interface is compatible with using arbitrary ssh keys...

@vagrantc@floss.social Thanks for the praise, it fills our hearts with a nice warm and fuzzy feeling when we hear that people are happy with the tools we develop! 😃 Thanks also for your criticism! You are right; the SSH Agent might not have been the best choice here for the long term. It regularly causes confusion. But we also can't change that on a whim. You know, we have a 1.0.0 out, want to batch breakage, and all that 😊
