I've just created Passwords Fountain - simple, ultra-optimised, password manager interface.

It's basically PWA app written in Preact with the help of other micro-sized libs like goober.js (CSS in JS).

Whole codebase can be found here https://github.com/kolodziejczakM/passwords-fountain.

If you're willing to check how it works, then official instance is here https://passwords-fountain.com/, but you can easily create your own, even free of charge (you need only static site hosting).

I hope you'll like it and I'm opened to your feedback.

I really like that it went in the PWA direction. I wish more apps did that and ditched the whole Android/iOS duopoly

Agreed, I'd prefer to use all ten fingers at a keyboard on a desktop web interface than waste time with just two on a mobile device. It's just a more productive way to spend your time. Also, I don't have an unlimited data plan anymore, since why would you ever need one if you're social distancing 100% of the time? Ideally I'd switch to prepaid. Half the time I forget where my phone is, and I'm much happier for it.

I think a big reason why password managers tend to have native apps is so that the OS can better integrate with them. For example, iOS' `AuthenticationServices` API which can autofill username & passwords from a third party password manager. I don't think PWAs can achieve this yet. Personally I use Bitwarden, which offers both native and web client for all of my devices.

In any case, still very good to see more choices out there, and congrats on launching!

IDK WTF "PWA" in TFA means. SOS.

Anyone in the tech industry, which is Hacker News' target audience, knows what PWA means.

And it's gaining ubiquity outside the industry as well; a search via Qwant (so not personalized) tells you that it stands for Progressive Web Application. The only other contender for the front page is Public Works Administration, which isn't remotely applicable.
