Experiment #4 – New interface in 1Password.com’s vault view

Hi, I am continuing to experience severe performance degradation with the new javascript/electron powered UI. Just yesterday I was in a bind where the android app was showing a blank/empty screen for several minutes when I was in an air-gapped environment. Force-stopping the app didn't work, neither did clearing the cache. I had to wait for several minutes before the credential I searched for loaded. Suffice it to say that if I were working a time sensitive issue that this could have been a big deal with real world costs.

While I do have more than 1000 passwords across several vaults, what's the point of a password manager that can't manage passwords? I had zero performance issues with the old app and strongly recommend a return to native app development on mobile devices (be they apple or android or anything else that comes along)

As an aside: the web-extension is also incredibly slow, and I'm inclined to believe that a substantial amount of JavaScript bloat has been added there as well (likely the same codebase as the mobile app).

A word to the product management and engineering leads: Please add performance requirements to your PRD or software acceptance criteria. While I'm not a fan of electron apps (power hogs) there's no reason why they can't perform well on highly-specced mobile devices (such as the Samsung S22 Ultra I use).

In case anyone asks: yes, this is where the 'Let us know what you think' link takes me from the Android app... (again reinforcing the finding that the codebases are shared across platforms)
