![]() The entire Electron framework idea should be completely scrapped and shut down. There is no pretty wrapper for Electron based apps, whatsoever. I don't care if you used Rust for some and Electron as the pretty wrapper. Seriously, why is it so similar to Teams?Ĭanceling in about 1 week after finding my replacement and migrating into it. Buttons, dialogs, text fields all don’t feel quite right, the way the settings screen is designed screams electron. scrolling is a big issue, it’s stiff and elements do not render fast enough for fast scrolling.Even if your backend is lightning fast, the UI is not. font rendering is visibly different than native, as are font sizes (scaling with cmd+/- is janky, and the fact that there isn’t an upper and lower limit is really bad).I already explained my problem with the UI and UX to one of your colleagues, but I’ll reiterate those that I think are an intrinsic problem of electron: But what do I know, I’m just a random redditor. ![]() I get the appeal of electron, but in the end, if you want to have a polished app, with a native feel, I seriously don’t think there would be any develop time and resources benefit. You know what I’m about to say, aren’t you? You touch things or you swipe on things and they feel “stuck” or clunky and you’re left wondering if the app hanged. They lose integration with possible mac specific features like Shortcuts. Lists are not as responsive, they don’t have the rubber banding effect (going past the end of a list should act like a spring but in web apps it’s not the case). The confirmation dialogs are non native and they look weird. Pretty much they dumbed down everything.Īnd regarding the platform integration, being a web app, it doesn’t respond to user input as we would expect. They also removed 1Password mini that allowed using it much faster without opening the main app. They also removed licenses and are forcing using a subscription and their own cloud to store everything. With this new version they also removed local vaults, the ability to sync vaults between computer and phone with wi-fi, the ability to sync vaults with Dropbox, iCloud etc. Also Electron has had a lot of security problems in the past and that’s very bad for an app that has security as its main focus. The disadvantage here are that the app takes about 3 times the size on disk and uses at least twice as much RAM and more CPU than a native app. This also means the app comes with a copy of chrome bundled. This helps them having a unified code base but this means that it’s much harder to adapt to platform specific changes. This app is a complete rewrite in a web technology called Electron. They just announced the preview of next generation app, 1Password 8. We too feel disrespected, disappointed and betrayed. If you feel my message is disrespectful, know this. If I’m getting a bad password manager, at least I’m getting a cheaper one with your competitors. If that’s not going to happen, you leave us no other option but to cancel our subscriptions and leave. Companies make more money and users get a worse deal and an even worse UX.Īs you can already see, many of us are seriously pissed by the move to Electron, the degrading of the current experience, the new memory usage, the usability problems and the non native feeling.Īnd no, we don’t want you to make a better Electron app, we want you to continue to build on the native app. I’m a software engineer too and I know the trade offs of cross platform clients. Be it an AppKit app or a Catalyst app made from the iPad version. I understand the 1P8 is better on the other platforms, but the mac has always been the mac and deserves it’s own native client. □ġPassword was always on a league of its own on the mac and it deserved the price, now it’s all like the other apps. We'll always be marked by an official flair, and will always love both 1Password and you. You'll see some friendly people from the 1Password team ready to help you - keep an eye out for /u/1PasswordCS-Blake, /u/agben, u/Zatara214, and more of us! Read recent coverage on us and see the 1Password love.Bits will be marked by an official flair. We'd love to hear from you here, on Twitter, or via email. ![]()
