Thanks! Way less overhead than hosting your own vaultwarden instance, so way more user friendly with basically the same effect. The big difference is there's no server at all. With vaultwarden you're running a box that holds your whole vault and you have to keep it patched, backed up and secured (sysadmin skills basically). Bramble just syncs your devices directly so there's nothing to host or maintain = no single po…

What if I have multiple devices and some aren't currently online. Will they catch up when they do come back online?

Exactly that. Once the devices are simultaneously online they will sync.

Very cool! I like it! What about using Nostr relays to also back up your data passwords? I built a library called Tablinum around this idea. Local first but backed up to Nostr relays using NIP-59 gift wrapped events. https://tablinum.dev

Doesn't really apply here because every synced device essentially serves as a backup

With that said, I really do like Tablinum! I might need that for something else. How are merge conflicts handled?

i think this is a great Idea but it doesnt beat any of the other free password managers like keepass.. I support this Idea tho and ill check on it to see where youve gotten! i usually just use keepassDX on my phone and keepassXC on my pc to create a local encrypted database file that i sync through MEGA sync which creates another level of encryption and i have 3 ways to get my password back if i lost them ( the database also gets saved in the phone) , the problem im seeing with youur product is just that is your browser is compromised your password is visible. compared to the keepass encrypted database its lacking security.
