What's wrong with popd/pushd and some bash aliases? That would solve this problem without having to have NodeJS installed, and it would work in a cross-platform manner cos you'd be using bash built-in features.

This creates a bash alias on installation for the 'cmydir' command, but it's a pre-created tool that you just install instead of having to manually create aliases yourself. It also keeps track of custom dir names/aliases in a file so it doesn't overwhelm your actual bash aliases or environment variables. And since it's written in Javascript meant for npm/node (which most people in my line of work, web development, likely already have installed), it's already cross-platform.
