Here’s the post they made on Reddit:
Hi everyone. I wanted to post a quick update on the plans that are progressing around the Bitwarden mobile app. For those of you that don’t know, our current mobile app is created using a technology called Xamarin, a framework provided by Microsoft that allows you to create a single app that works on both iOS and Android. I chose Xamarin in the early days of Bitwarden because it was a technology that I was proficient at (.NET and C#) and it afforded me the time to maintain a mobile app along with all the other apps I was building for Bitwarden. Xamarin is a real time saver, for sure and it has served us well over the past 8 years, but it comes with some downsides as well:
Because of some of these things, and because we have matured as an engineering organization here at Bitwarden, Xamarin doesn’t make sense for us to pursue any longer.
Early last year we began planning to retire our Xamarin-based mobile apps and made the decision to transition our mobile apps to fully native apps written in Swift (for iOS) and Kotlin (for Android). Over the past 6 months we have been actively developing these new native apps and at this time they are nearing completion. I wanted to share some sneak peeks of these new apps and rollout plans over the coming months with you all.
In an effort to support passkeys sooner than later, we’ve had a parallel effort going on with adding passkey support in the existing Xamarin-based mobile app. This required us to “upgrade” the Xamarin app to the new MAUI framework. As anticipated, the upgrade has not been smooth, however, we are nearing the completion of that project and plan to release this temporary solution soon. Although this is largely a new app under the hood, overall, the new MAUI shouldn’t look or feel any different than the Xamarin app that we have today.

In a few months you will begin to see our completely revamped native mobile apps roll out. These new apps will look and feel different. They are completely new Bitwarden apps. Hopefully you will notice large improvements to the overall experience of using the mobile apps. The designs are different, using all native platform controls, but the layouts still follow similar user flows that we already have.

Android
Now that we have new native apps to build upon, following their initial release we also plan to begin introducing other UX improvements and redesign how you interact with certain flows throughout the app. This may include things like redesigning certain screens entirely, optimization of critical user flows, and introducing onboarding walkthroughs for new users. These types of updates are informed by usability research conducted by our product design team and tested with volunteers from the Bitwarden community.
In closing, we understand that our mobile app has lagged behind in recent years. Xamarin served us well, but it’s time to move on. When released, we hope you will all enjoy the new native apps we have been working hard at building. Your feedback is important to help make the experience of using Bitwarden great for everyone.
That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.
The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.
I assume you’re in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they’d go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?
I started but then I noticed the scrollbar and realised it’s a lot longer read than I have the attention for right now - to the “read later (yeah right)” pile with you!
So they’re switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git… How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?
You’re forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It’s definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.
If Russia blocks security updates, that’s worse for Russian users than having to go to GitHub to install a plugin.
I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you’ll see you’re pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you’re missing a lot, if you’ve blacklisted them).
Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. “Only” 22% is still a lot in my book.
I’m interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?
If you’re blocking everything that’s proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.
The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it’s just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.
I’d assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I’m not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don’t see how you’d know if each server chose that option so I guess it’s more like “servers with green hosting companies”.
Don’t downvote stuff just because you’re not interested in it! There’s no algorithm you’re training, you’re just being rude to people.
Downvotes should be for worthless content and people being dicks.
I watched that one last night and had the same thought - she’s been the face of nonacceptance towards Data and although Bruce Maddox is far more extreme in his views it seemed like a waste of her character building.
That said, they’d already shoehorned in a Guinan scene so I don’t know where they’d find the time.
I used to have some with e-ink displays that showed how full they were, but I always wished I could use them to show a label instead.
I missed the news that K-9 was becoming Thunderbird for Android. I used to use it before switching to FairEmail, I think because development had stalled. It’s a solid choice, hopefully they don’t add too much in like they have with the desktop version.
I just now noticed it was gone. Did it just vanish one day, or did its users at least have some hint?
edit: looks like it was a surprise: https://lemmyverse.link/mander.xyz/post/12163154

This is really slick.
Mbin seems like a healthy project, and the only sensible move from kbin.
