1Password 8 - Non-native feel
Like many Mac users, I was greatly disappointed to read that 1Password is moving to Electron. I firmly believe that Electron is a bad framework for app development, and the 1Password 8 beta does not ...
roustem and all the others at 1Password, you keep talking about all the new features and UI, but no one really answers the obvious... what was wrong with AppKit?
The team at 1Password has significant funds and resources now, and your saying you cant spend the extra resources in making a UI in AppKit for the Mac?
By all means keep the core in Rust so the code can be reused, but just use AppKit for the UI. Even if it means features are delayed to the Mac, if people want the latest features they can use the damn web app
You have threatened to disrupt and abandon your most loyal customers all because of the ability to reuse the UI code base between platforms?
Just look at ArqBackup, it had a very average UI, they moved to Electron, suddenly has a modern UI but with terrible usability, was probably their shortest major release cycle because they ran back to a native App
All we can hope for is 1PW8 to be deemed a failed concept, and a native app is returned before you stop supporting 1PW7.
