1Password v8 is a Mistake

editing as my other post FINALLY showed up.

Hi all

If you reach out to the billing team they will work with you to give you pro-rata refunds on your subscriptions.

I hate to do this but it seems the 1P Team aren’t really hearing the feedback - I suspect the only way this will change is if people start voting with their feet and wallets.

To the dev team I am sorry, you guys are awesome and seem like great people but this Electron and refusal to acknowledge you’ve done the wrong thing/made a mistake is just a deal breaker.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck - if you decide to dump electron and do macOS properly I’ll be back.

Cheers

Hey folks, sorry for the delay, we've been a bit swamped. :)

@FCNV polish and performance are things we'll continue to improve through the early access and beta periods. We're certainly not done yet. As for consistency with the OS, we're doing some things on Mac like the beautiful translucent sidebar that not even version 7 has. But overall, you are right, we've made a decision to have consistent design language across our apps.

How long do you plan on supporting 1PW7 on the Mac before forcing customers to switch to 1PW8? I’d be willing to switch from Dashlane if I had enough time to see how this all shakes out.

@jlsobraske there aren't any plans in place to end support for 1Password 7. That's not to say it will never happen, just that it's not something we're looking at right now. Version 8 is not even likely to ship this year, so there's plenty of time to get your feet wet and see what you think.

@gussic thanks for the kind words, and I'm sorry to see you go. I similarly hope we can prove with time that using Electron is not inherently a mistake. :)

@1P_Rob

Unfortunately the use of Electron is inherently a mistake - it has never worked well on macOS and will never work well on macOS.

Is it possible, not to upgrade to 1p8 and remain on version 7 forever? I see version 8 is a step backwards with a lot of issues and you have killed the mini.
