Concerns About 1P 8 for Mac from a Web and Software Developer
So I briefly tried 1P 8 and then noped right back to 1P 7. Here are some of my concerns, I hope they are fixed before general public release:
Mini. This is how I use 1P daily. Seems that 1P Mini...
I agree with @StevenBedrick. Mac users do not want a unified UI design between platforms. We want a Mac specific UI design that feels right at home on out Macs. That's why I have been a 1Password user since 2007.
All Electron does is make it easier to manage the code on your end. It does nothing to improve the experience for end users, in fact it's degrading it. Web based apps never feel native. I can't believe that a company that once took great pride in their great Mac software has made the decision to use Electron.
Unfortunately there aren't really any other Mac native password managers available, but now that 1Password won't be one anymore it will lose that edge over the competition which is unfortunate.
I'd much rather see you do some tweaks to 1Password 7 and keep it around for another year or two instead of forcing Electron on us.
