Im not sure how difficult this would be, but couldn't you modify an existing client or make your own? Especially with ai(if you so choose to use) it shouldn't be too difficult(probably).
Yes, I hate the bloat aswell! However, I really like that native feel(idk why its just SO nice). I was planning on making my own sketchy framework using the Haxe programming language, which compiles to other platforms, so performance wouldn’t be a problem; however, it doesn’t support swift or objc, I still haven’t found a suitable solution.
Holy shit I wish fish supported it. I just press up arrow then hold left arrow and manually type sudo. It fucking sucks
