    Vaultwarden is a great piece of self hosted server software, which meshes with Bitwarden software perfectly. And for people who can’t self host, IMO Bitwarden gives you more than enough bang for your buck with their own hosting plans.

    It’s one of the few examples of software being open source and ethically making money regardless. (For comparison, Standard Notes has tried pretty hard to make sure non-paying users have an inferior experience even if they self-host literally everything.)

      I was really disappointed about standard notes’ plans. Took me forever to get everything set up to self host, only to find I couldn’t even use markdown unless I bought a license? Silly.

        Yeah, the value of buying a hosted service should be the fact you don’t have to worry about hosting it yourself. Not a tiny piece of Javascript that was grabbed from a third party developer anyway.

        I can see what they’re trying to do, but the experience leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

      I’m excited that the bitwarden phone apps are getting a brand new native version for ios and Android soon.

          No, its built on a Microsoft framework, that MS has decided to change recently. That’s why its sluggish and they can’t add features like passkeys to the current client apps.

      Standard notes is very unethical. They want you to pay for open source software even if you self host. Very scummy.
