I’m happy with the current one, but sure.

It’s a bullshit headline. The real benefit is quicker access to new, native features in the OS. So, for that reason, I’m happy they’re making the move. But making it about how a utility product looks just seems… unimportant to me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

UI is basically considered UX. Bitwarden’s app looks dated af and I have had strong doubts about committing to BW due to only that. It gives the impression that it is abandoned. Looks bad, basically. Not pretty. These things matter. It stands out among all my other modern looking apps, in a bad way.

I’ve used Bitwarden because it’s available everywhere I need it, including a good Firefox desktop extension. The only thing I worry about how they raised VC funds in 2022, and hope that doesn’t lead to enshittification. Fortunately I’m prepared to switch to self-hosted alternatives if that’s the case.

I would definitely agree. I would say that UI and UX are pretty important in open source.

Just because it doesn’t look like it was made for old people with eyesight problems doesn’t mean it’s outdated.

Seriously, I’m getting tired of hearing people throw around words like dated and modern to describe what are just a different styles of app UI.

There’s nothing wrong with how it looks now. As long as the new look doesn’t hide actual features and options while wasting screen space, I’ll be fine with it, but there was nothing wrong with how it is now.

Sometimes it’s justified. If an app looks like it was designed for Windows 3.1, Android C, or god forbid Motif, it just screams “hasn’t been maintained in decades”, and it looks terrible.

But yeah, I don’t have any aesthetic complaints with Bitwarden. It’s neither pretty nor ugly, just functional.
