aff... I understand that this is a good idea, but posting a project in HN without a release, and saying it will have , but have not implemented the cool features at the frontpage, like cloud integration, photos, search, tags, extensions, cloud integration(gdrive,dropbox,etc), key manager, etc... This is the dictionary´s definition of vaporware . Maybe all you want is to attract more developers to the project, but if…

A release would be good, but there are build instructions

Not clear on what the build gets us from the roadmap

The site breaks the back button in Firefox.

Maybe a silly question but: is this by accident or a dark pattern? I hate it when this happens in the wild, but I never know if I should be suspicious of a dark patter or not.

This looks like an accident. Even many of the suspicious sites that do it seem to be an accidental side effect. The ones that annoy me the most are the news articles that trigger a history event on scroll. I think they do it as part of a tracking mechanism to detect scroll position, but the result is you have to press back twice to leave. I can't see the benefit, not like anyone is going to press back then say, "oh i guess i can't leave so I'll click an ad".
