4 years agoHaving a common "core" makes it much more feasible to roll out a consistent experience across all of our platforms. If there are bugs in that core, it is likely that those bugs would be exposed on all platforms. That said, there is a fair bit of platform specific code still, particularly for things like Touch ID vs Windows Hello, and other system-specific integrations.
why did you release now?
We reached a point where the 1Password 8 for Windows app provided an overall better experience for most users than the 1Password 7 for Windows app. As Dave mentioned in another thread: "there's still plenty of work left to do and many amazing things to create. This really is just one step on our path and with your help we'll continue pushing things forward. There's a Mac release to tackle in the new year, better search is always needed, and just last week I was sorely in need of the ability to reorder fields in one of my items. Thankfully our job is never done. :)"
Thank you for all of your input so far!
