But instead everyone goes to pretend like Electron apps are perfect even though the reason it was chosen was almost completely based on cost. ![]() I understand when a business says "we just don't have the funds to use a proper app framework, please do with what we have for now". I get it, business decisions need to factor cost into account and hence the choice. Its just that its lazier/cheaper to just get your web development team pretend to write a desktop app. > Electron doesn't seem like a worse choice than the other options You tell me (assuming you're talking about Qt, not QuickTime) The toolkit is supposed to do the integration (GTK, Qt, ) and clearly Electron doesn't care. Honestly, this isn't something the developer of the app have to put years of research in (Slack for example). I use a dark theme system-wide but Electron won't care. (Dashlane by contrast has a very buggy desktop app and requires storing everything on their servers.) But I would jump at the chance to use an alternative with a simpler UI and better experience on mobile.īecause every Electron app is inconsistent with the rest of the desktop. I like the native Mac app and open/local vault format. 1Password overemphasizes features I don't need like tags and favorites and has a pretty cluttered look in general. Since it's rare to sign up via the web now for mobile apps, this is the most common scenario for me when using 1Password for apps on my phone (and occasionally websites as well). Typically the master password will have to be re-entered as well, despite touch ID being adequate a moment prior. Instead, you have to close the app, open 1Password, and copy/paste the credentials back in. Currently on iOS when searching for a password within an app, if a site prefix is included that doesn't match what's in 1Password the list will just show no results, with no way to navigate manually to the login. Support for unlocking via Watch ID on the Mac. Is it? I've been using it for sometime as well but it seems like there is a lot of room for improvement. > It’s one of those apps which has been made with proper craftsmanship and care I like the app and will continue to use it, but if my main platform wasn't macOS/iOS I would have bailed long ago. The reps on their forums all come off with this attitude of "this is the best way, and you're wrong if you don't like it" for just about every issue that comes up. ![]() I've also got a chip on my shoulder about the "feature" they added that showed the most recently used websites in the iOS app with no way to disable it (they finally allowed setting the number to zero months later). The Windows client is much better after the last major release, but it's never been as slick as the Mac version (the biggest wart now is the system tray/browser extension popup).ġPassword X looks nice until you try and use it, and all the company reps on the forums are very argumentative about any feature request (look for the pushback they give about resizing their super-cramped browser extension popup-and the issues with hires screens stemming from how they built it, which assumes a fixed size). It's made with proper craftsmanship and care on the Mac (which is primarily where I've been using it for years).
