    How does this differ from the printing press?

      This is a legitimate question so I don&#x27;t understand why it would get downvoted. The Printing Press _already exists_ (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mvanhorn&#x2F;cli-printing-press" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mvanhorn&#x2F;cli-printing-press) and it&#x27;s not limited to SaaS providers like Aclif seems to be.

        I downvoted it because I thought it was a bot response. Did not realize you were referring to cli-printing-press. The main difference is that printing press caches a local copy of data heavy sites like Discord channels, ESPN, etc. and creates a CLI for that API.

        aclif produces a single CLI with a unified grammar for all APIs, plus support for canonical names (fed by external semantic data layers) and unified auth. It targets enterprise SaaS APIs.
