John Gruber, writing about Halo Fund's announcement of a secondary investment into 1password:
Well I’m sure this will halt 1Password’s rapid descent into enterprise shittiness.
Oof, that's a rough take.
While I was reticent about 1password's path away from a "native app", I have found that it's maintained its high quality. Indeed, the addition of being able to easily (and portably!) store my SSH keys and other credentials and have them filled automagically with a Touch ID authentication everywhere was the best improvement in years. It's even baked into my automated flow to deploy this very site, requesting a Touch ID to complete the deployment, and configuring the site with all the secrets it needs in a secure fashion. It was also very early to the Vision Pro (albeit as an iPad app, but one that needed work to fit in well on Vision Pro), where many other apps eschewed the work necessary to be on that App Store.
Anyway, I know I've heard others in the Apple commentary sphere (like Casey Liss) complain about it, but I'm here to say that I remain a happy 1password user.
