    Discontinued Symmetric key encryption command-line utility. [Moved to: https://github.com/solidiquis/ether]

    I made an encryption/decryption tool for learning purposes and was wondering if you guys had feedback on how I could improve this from a user-experience standpoint: Things like CLI argument structure, argument convention, help text, and things of that nature. I'm a noob when it comes to making command-line utilities and am itching to learn about best practices and how best to make my tools feel ergonomic. Any input is appreciated! Thank you.
