Warning, incredibly entitled sounding post following:

Have any of you seen any exciting app releases of late. Everything seems to have lulled and it’s probably just the time of the year, but I thought I’d ask.

I’ve been looking forward to a number of things.

Bitwarden just don’t really give a shit about their apps. Hence just ignoring issues with host matching and ignoring issues posted on their tracker.

Firefox hasn’t had anything since the menu redesign and since then, it feels like there’s nothing happening. Which is crazy because they should be all in on tab groups, which is obviously a flagship feature. That’s probably down to them moving back to Bugzilla and so it’s harder to follow.

Niagara Launcher is all in on their health thing and so things like updating their icon packs isn’t happening, so it feels like nothing is happening there moreso than actually being the case.

Sync for Lemmy. The less said about this the better. Star_Wars_You_Were_The_Chosen_One.gif we’ve had some major API changes and no updates to Sync.

Thunderbird is doing a whole lot of nothing since rebranding from K9email and even the rebranding feels kinda half assed with them not updating brandable assets. And where is Thunderbird Sync?

I get that it’s so soon after Christmas and so teams have to come back and then coordinate, so we shouldn’t expect much from Q1, but at the same time, I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m personally like Christmas is outta the way, now let me get excited about something and there’s not much happening.

So anything that you’re waiting on? Or anything that’s been released that’s been exciting and has gone under my radar?

    Hold your horses. You want someone to build a service where you’d register, with a new separate set of credentials, so that you’d synchronize your email password between devices?

    Well, I have to admit that this idea of having a password synchronize yourself another password becomes much more practical if you tweak it just a little bit and manage all your passwords with just one. In fact, Mozilla has one. It’s called Firefox Sync. I’d still recommend to use a real password manager like pass and either git or syncthing for synchronizing the underlying data.
