Very recent developments in \Zcash might allow the potential to use "viewing keys" in the fture, but as this feature has not been fully merged to master at this time and lacks a RPC interface, \HushList chooses to use PRIVATE KEYS which are core \Zcash protocol that is well-supported in all forks. If "viewing keys" are one day to be used, that feature will need to be merged into multiple \Zcash forks, which does not seem likely in the near-term.
Since creating a private \HushList requires making a transaction on the network to store data in the memo-field, it has a cost. This cost will be the fee of the transaction, most likely around 0.0001 but each chain is different and fees obviously change as blockchains get more active.

One may send a string of text via the *send* subcommand or send the contents of a file via the *send-file* subcommand. If one sends a string of text, there is no metadata related to that at all, locally. It only exists encrypted in a memo field on the chain. If one uses the *send-file* command, it may be prudent to securely delete the file from the filesystem after it is sent, depending on the needs of the user.
Each HushList has a dedicated default chain that it is attached to. When looking up
\HushList contacts for a given list, their address on that chain will be retreived.
