#3How much of a difference in size is it between the official ASPNET Core app and the Rust app? As I understand it, deploying on prem with the official server you would deploy using Docker; is there a test suite to simulate dozens of concurrent users and results showing the difference in resources being used?

#4As cool as a native code back-end for Bitwarden would be I would be more interested in seeing vendor native mobile apps (Swift/Xcode, Kotlin/Android Studio) and putting the Xamarin code out to pasture. Would also like to see an improvement in the desktop Electron app as well or at least get it to feature parity with the web vault. All of that said Bitwarden is a fantastic product and I recommend that over every other server-based password manager out there.

The bitwarden mobile apps are using Xamarin? That's actually pretty impressive...I've never had any of the weird issues with the bitwarden app that I've had with other Xamarin apps in the past.
The desktop app looks and feels like an electron app, so I'm far less impressed by it. At the very least it would be nice to have it in Qt or something like that.

#6I have been using Vaultwarden for all my home needs for some time and I love it. I host it on a raspberry pi in a docker container and have had no issues whatsoever.

#7I’ve been really diving into Rust over this holiday break and reading through code bases like this is really helpful. Little things like a shared db connection are not intuitive on the first pass when everything is under such a strict borrow/move/release paradigm. I’m going to study this a little closer but it still isn’t super clear to me. In other languages I would probably implement a singleton of some sort. I know that can be done with Rust but I’m struggling to find examples that I can understand in the wild. Most examples are small single main.rs files.

I will freely admit I am strongly biased against Xamarin as there are so few cases where I think it's unequivocally the right choice, and Bitwarden isn't one of them. It would make more sense to take the work done in their desktop electron app and use that as part of an Ionic hybrid mobile app than to screw around with the layercake of bugs and mismatched APIs that Xamarin is. Moreover, since this is a serious app from a security point of view it really should go full vendor native IMO.

#9I run this and like it.
Note that the official clients phone home; you have to block them from doing so.

That is because it IS an Electron app.

Sure, I hope so too. Unfortunately there are very few serious alternative password managers that are not using Electron for the desktop app these days. Seems like 1Password is on the way out too.
