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

roustem

This is going to sound snarky.... but have you considered making it a preference if you've decided it shouldn't be the default anymore? 🤷‍♂️🤔 Just removing a feature that ppl have been using for years seems a bit brutal.

I'd love to find a better way to do this.

I'm also glad to hear this:

1Password 7 is being supported. We just published a new beta build this week.

As I said, I'm not inherently against Electron development, and I like the sound of a single, solid core underneath + lightweight UI. I am concerned at how unpolished this release is though. Did the reaction to Electron catch you all off guard? (It seems reminiscent of Apple's surprise at the 2016 Touch Bar launch when everyone was like "WTF? That is not what we're asking for."). If I were going to pivot my long time Apple first, native Mac app to Electron I'd be keen to get it more native-looking first given the reputation Electron has.

Again, not saying it can't be a good solution. Just saying it doesn't feel like that yet. Glad to hear 1P7 will continue to get updates. Hopefully the Safari extension will also continue to get updates. That was the thing that broke 1P6 for me in the end, and to be completely honest I'd probably still be using it if the Safari extension was still available! What can I say, I'm not a big fan of redesigning workflows and interfaces just 'because'. 🤷‍♂️
