1Password 8 Mac Electron App Experiment
Is the 1Password 8 Mac electron app experiment about over so the dev team can get back to building a quality native app for the Mac? The other option is staying on 1Password 7 till I move my family a...
This is just my two cents.
Does it have to do with the UI?
The UI is ok, it's just not as nice and intuitive as the previous v7. I feel like it's more basic, or simplified if that makes sense. It also suffers the same issue most Electron Apps do - it becomes sluggish over time and requires a hard restart of the App and accompanying helpers/processes to regain fluid UI performance. The Window control icons (close, minimise/hide and maximise) also get half cut off if you have the App window open in the background for a significant portion of time - WhatsApp also does this.
The web browser extensions are also hungrier for system resources than the old 'desktop app dependent' versions - but i guess that isn't really anything to do with Electron, and more just a general development modification for simplicities sake.
I've certainly learnt to hate the Electron App less and less but the mere fact it's still in Early Access/Beta on macOS and is in production on Windows obviously says something.
