Not technical, but the person behind that project now works for Bitwarden so there's some risk of a rugpull. Of course it's OSS but you'll need to trust a fork or maintain it yourself if said rugpull happens.
- giancarlostoro 5mo agoKind of makes a lot of sense that they wound up working there too.
- Snow_Falls 5mo agoThe maintainer has said that they've been given permission to maintain it in their free time. All it takes is a bad quarter and the CEO decides they don't want to be supporting a competitor and that goes away. It's possible that a community continuation could happen but I wouldn't rely on something so uncertain for something as important as credentials.
- l72 5mo agoIt’s a bad strategy. I am capable so I host an instance of vaultwarden for myself and spouse (only available via our vpn) But when friends and family ask for my recommendation I send them to Bitwarden and they pay for the service. If it wasn’t for vaultwarden and the clients being open source I would not be using it nor recommending it. I’d probably still be using keepass with manual sync and when friends and family ask for suggestions I’d probably shrug and say I don’t trust any of them.
- akerl_ 5mo agoThe expansion of "rugpull" to encompass "a company or open source developer changing the roadmap or level of investment in something they develop" is fascinating.
- wolvoleo 5mo agoI think that term refers more to the conflict of interest that now exists.
