Anyone tried Nativefier with 1Password 8?

Claims to make Electron apps less awful

Where did you read such a claim?

AFAIK this tool does something entirely different: it packages a website in an App, using Electron.

@m4rkw:

XIII is right, this tool does not do what you are claiming it does. From the description on the page you linked to:

Nativefier is a command-line tool to easily create a desktop app for any web site with minimal configuration. Apps are wrapped by Electron (which uses Chromium under the hood) in an OS executable (.app, .exe, etc) for use on Windows, macOS and Linux.

So it turns a website into an Electron app, it does nothing to existing Electron apps.

It seems to make Discord run better, was just curious if it would do something similar for 1P8. Perhaps if the electron app is already heavily optimised this wouldn't be the case.

I don't see how this would provide any benefit for 1Password.

Confirms what I replied before:

Enter Nativefier. Nativefier creates an Electron app from a webpage, which is already amazing, but it also allows us to inject our own code! This will allow us to imitate pretty much all features in the actual MacOS version and add them to our web version.

The only “improvements” are modifications using user scripts.

Note that this refers to the new “App” (a single purpose browser created by Nativefier); not the original (Discord/1Password) App.

I don’t think it makes sense to create your own “App” this way for 1Password.

Exactly :+1:
