Concerns About 1P 8 for Mac from a Web and Software Developer

Can I ask, seriously, what would it take for you reverse course and dump electron from the front end of the Mac App? I hate it, just even knowing it's on my computer is a worry for me.

What exactly is worrying you, gussic ? I see that fear all over the forums and Reddit and I understand some of it but I don't get the fear of web-based technologies (which we are using in 1Password 8 only to render the UI — networking, encryption, database, biometrics, system services, etc are all done in Rust and Swift). We actually had a web-based implementation of the item detail view back in 1Password 2 and it many ways I liked it more than the rigid UI we used later.

Many of the Apple's own apps are built with web technologies. There are many Mac apps but how many of them are truly great? The list is quite short and we can probably count them on one hand: OmniGroup, Panic, Fantastical. Just making an app "native" will not make it great and it is also possible to build a great user experience with web technologies.
