It’s pretty easy to understand.
VSCode was an electron app from day one and never tried to be a first-class Mac app while the only reason 1Password is around today is because customers loved having a lightweight, native manager that always was quick to support new OS features.
Essentially, native Mac apps switching to electron is a bait and switch.
- apple4ever 5y agoAnd I would say VSCode has its own annoyances but due to the fact there are few other good options (that are native Mac at least) its still praised.
- Eric_WVGG 5y agoNova is a good native Mac option
- shawndellysse 5y agoI looked at it when it first came out but not since, does it have a typescript debugger yet?
- Eric_WVGG 5y agoYup, via LSP just like Visual Studio Code. There were a couple quirks in the early days but it improved at a rapid clip.
- steveklabnik 5y agoI'm not a Mac user these days, what OS features will it be missing now?
- aniforprez 5y agoI'm actually sort of worried drag and drop won't work anymore with their menu bar pop up
- steveklabnik 5y agoOh that's neat, I didn't even know that was a feature. (Part of why I'm asking, I'm always wondering if there's good ways to use something that I don't know about.)
- dijit 5y agoDrag and drop, touchID, AppleWatch unlock, I suppose native menubar (1password mini) access might be on the table... Maybe keyboard clearing (of OTPs).. Universal clipboard?
- vmladenov 5y agoIt’s also always fun to accidentally zoom in on the entire UI of the Electron app, pushing all the toolbars off-screen. This has happened to me multiple times in nearly every Electron app I’ve used, with VS Code being the most common.
- steveklabnik 5y agoGotcha, thanks. On Windows, Hello works, so I would hope that touchID/applewatch would as well. TIL about drag and drop. Neat!
- yurishimo 5y agoIf they drop touch ID/watch then idk what I'll do. Those are the best features IMO
- epicspongee 5y agoTouch ID, Apple Watch unlock, drag and drop, and universal clipboard support all still work on 1Password 8 (just tried it out). It's almost like they have a native Rust backend that makes it possible for them to still use platform-specific features like that...
