How do you guys manage AUR compilation?
Currently I use aurutils, so that created packages are stored in an extra repository on the respective machine and can be installed through it.

[Request/Suggestion] Have 1 linux app with autoupdate instead of muliple packages
If I am not mistaken officially maintained packages follow the same initial process as AUR packages. You can read the wiki on Creating packages. But official packages are tested (there is a testing repository with the newest packages) where as the AUR package expects users to do the build and testing themselves, at their own risk in other words. With the helpers like glorious aurutils the process of keeping up-to-date dozens of packages (if you happen to be in a such a use case) with many dependencies is quite easy.

all dependencies in one package
You could use https://github.com/AladW/aurutils to create your own pacman repository on this USB drive. On your powerful PC you build the packages and they are placed in the repository on the USB drive. Then on your other machine you add the repository and install any AUR packages that you added to the repository from there. Dependency resolution would be handled by pacman itself just like for the normal repositories.

yay -> takes ages -> password -> abort because I am not around -> goto 0
Check out aurutils, it is a collection of scripts that helps to streamline the process of maintaining a custom-repo for you aur packages. It takes a little to set everything up in the beginning (but it is less work then OPs method). After the initial setup everything just works.

YAY or PARU ?
I have yay installed but I've also setup aurutils on my server that automatically builds a list of packages to a pacman repo every day so I can just update them with my other pacman packages. Saves time compiling them during updates and lets me upgrade the same packages on my desktop and laptop without having to needlessly build them twice.

Using pikaur, how would I disable asking me "Do you want to edit PKGBUILD for <package_name> package? [Y/n]"
Have a look here. Did you not search for the answer? That's part of the Arch(based) ethos. We tend to like to learn by reading whatever is required. :)

Nala v0.10.0 - Nala's A Legible Apt
I was also looking for something nicer for Arch, but haven't found anything as nice as Nala. For now, I switched to pikaur, which at least displays updates in a much clearer way.

AUR helper
pikaur is a pretty great tool.

I created a tool to install AUR packages in 1 click from the website: Aurin
Nice, but this definately needs a dependency resolver, otherwise it can only install a fraction of the available AUR packages. Since you're already using python, you may adapt your whole code on top a another python-based AUR helper like pikaur. You maybe also could take at the dep resolver of my ABS project. It's python, too, maybe not as clean as pikaur's code but simpler and not too integrated.
- Yay or Paru!!??
