Ah, GitHub. The company which was bootstrapped and profitable like 1Password, but then took venture capital, became unprofitable, and had to sell to Microsoft. Let's hope they aren't the GitHub of password management.

- vl 7y agoApple already has it’s own, pretty good, password management.

There were also rumors of an acquisition at the same time, which were denied.
- nixgeek 7y agoWhere has this story been publicly discussed? What’s the origin of this rumor that GitHub “had to sell” due to financial stability concerns?
- askafriend 7y agoGitHub being sold to Microsoft was a huge win for GitHub. They got acquired for $9B which is a staggering valuation - one they never would have gotten on their own. Not only that, but the GitHub product is getting much better under Microsoft. So overall I think it was a win for consumers too.
