Goes from:

Or in csv format:

Invitation token,Status,Type,Email
02ff2c07042dd5bde23fe108b048f76f,cancelled,user,[redacted]
801167da3548c3f4613235528f6399f3,finished,device,
7b9bbc4c33fa062a8e297b73b8a472ed,finished,device,

f1e0c71d31c1dec07699b0e06b2fa8c2,cancelled,user,[redacted]

That's nice !

Are they other place where this output could be useful ?

It's surely because I'm working on it but maybe the shared recovery info and list would benefit from that kind of (maybe optional) display.

I'm really not convinced by this:

• It adds yet another dependency, which seems dead (no change in 2 years), which alors relies on a dead dependency (dirs-next, not updated in 2 years )
• CSV format is obviously not meant for readability, it seems we are trying to add more features "just because we can". YAGNI
• It is questionable in which way the output is more readable. I would say adding color is a much MUCH bigger improvement in term of readability than framing the result in a ASCII table (see Parsec v2 CLI for instance)
