4 years agoThe question is, will you be doing all the work to make the Electron app behave like a native Mac app? Scrolling behavior, keyboard focus and all of the little and big things that make a Mac app feel like it belongs on the system? If so it will require a bunch of custom code and a lot of extra time which negates the use of Electron for a more unified codebase anyways.
I'd much rather keep using 1Password 7 but once you publish 1Password 8 to the App Store I assume 1Password 7 won't be maintained anymore. Why not just tweak the 1Password 7 interface a bit and leave it at that? It works wonderfully and is a native application.
The Mac application has to feel like a Mac application. It can't be a unified experience with all the other platforms. This new approach may elevate the experience on Windows and Linux compared to the current applications, but it will sure degrade it on macOS.
It's bad enough that so many other applications are web based. I have switched from many apps to other solutions because of it. I want the Mac experience. It's why I am a Mac user.
