## Description

Storm is an SSH connection manager and configuration tool that serves as a cross-platform wrapper for SSH clients. It provides a system for organizing, editing, and searching remote server host configurations and custom SSH directives.

The project implements a multi-interface bridge that allows users to manage connection settings through a command line interface, web environments, and desktop interfaces. It uses alias-based command mapping to link short-hand identifiers to complex connection strings.

The tool includes a Python library that allows for the programmatic automation of SSH connection settings and host configurations within external scripts. Configuration state is persisted using file-based storage for compatibility with standard system tools.
