Anyone have good/bad experience moving from 1Password to Apple' iCloud Keychain? I've recently been using keychain for new accounts, but not sure I wanna bite the bullet and go all in - just need a nudge.
Well darn, I guess I have to find a new password manager. 1Pass + Dropbox sync was so good.
1Password used to be native on the Mac, and now it's an Electron app. I'm not going to be using 1Password for this reason, and I encourage you to do the same. Subscription business models and non-native apps are hallmarks of rot by VCs. Dump them!
Well they’ve released a Linux app built in Rust, so maybe there’s hope?
They just like to say that they use Rust for the backend code. Rust for the backend of the client apps, React for the UI, wrapped in Electron.
I actually don't have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with press releases that are sprayed with emojis. It's incredibly unprofessional and gives a real amateur flavor to the whole thing, which for security software is really offputting.
To be pedantic, it looks like it's actually an official reply on a community forum, not a press release. Also, thinking that the use of emoji reflects the software quality is a mistake in our current culture.
Imagine emojis in IETF RFCs. No thanks.
This makes sense to me. Lots of other products have head in the same direction over time (e.g. YNAB) for similar reasons. SaaS is familiar to consumers and ultimately a nicer business model for most products. If you support SaaS for new customers, maintaining the old product / pricing model indefinitely eventually stops making sense. At some point you have to make a move like this. It is probably particularly timely…
I will run the installed version of YNAB as long as it runs on my computer, and after that I'll probably run in in a virtual machine until the end of time. I am not comfortable with my financial information being on the cloud in the hands of a third party, much less so when it is not the likes of Google and Apple with armies of security engineers and can be hacked much more easily.

How does one check if an app running on a mac is native or electron?

It's still native as of version 7. edit: apparently 8 will be electron-based. So... no standalone subscriptions AND they've moved from native to electron :/

It is native, what are you talking about?
