Project dead?

[ZockerFloh7]

Is the project dead? There have been no new commits for quiet a long time.
@teh are you still working on the extension or do you need help?

Hi @ZockerFloh7 - the project is not dead as in we're updating the server with security patches regularly, and I'm an active user myself.

It's "dead" in that I don't have much time for new developments, and especially getting published on the Firefox store has been and endless timesink without any success so far.

We're definitely open for contributions if you want to work on something!

I re-implemented the Mitro security model (with changes, but the basic group sharing method is right from Mitro) in python and typescript. Competition is always a good thing but if you'd like to see what I did let me know! (don't want to just go ahead and post competing project links here) It's all GPL of course. I didn't feel Mitro's code base was very appealing to work with as it started out proprietary and relatively under documented.

Always potential to work together on things too - I directly ported Mitro's "auto fill the forms" js to typescript. It's on my todo list to make it it's own project.

Sure feel free to share @bufke !

We have the code on gitlab. We have web, browser extensions, and a rough prototype mobile app (mainly to prove we can use native libsodium to make it fast). I did a diagram of the design - it's originally based off that mitro security pdf. A major difference is that I'm using libsodium for all the crypto. It works pretty well on web and mobile apps and seems faster than Mitro's implementation.

This form fill code should look familiar. I don't have a great strategy yet for making it it's own project and injecting the compiled js it into the browser extension yet. I removed the server hints functionality because I didn't quite understand how they worked. If you wanted to collaborate on improving this script I could prioritize moving it to it's own repo and it's own test suite. If you have other ideas on collaboration please let me know.

Bitwarden is getting popular too on the topic of other open source options. The dev behind it seems mindbogglingly productive. It's approach is a bit different from Mitro's but not that much.

Sad that the project seems to be dead (we tried to support it, but never found the resources), but great that there are options, some built on the design of mitro.

I am having a look at Bitwarden now because it seems very mature and financially backed by professional plans but still self-hostable.

@bufke What are the advantages of your project over bitwarden?

passopolis.com has a shutdown notice now, and recommends migrating to bitwarden. I sympathize with the "too much work", and I'm kind of hijacking this issue to say thanks to those who worked on it. passopolis has been super useful to transition to when mitro closed. Thanks for the recommendation for bitwarden, which looks good too.

Thanks everybody who was working on this!

Hello everyone, I came to the news that passopolis was shouting down because while formatting my computer, chrome wasn't syncing the passopoli extension as doesn't show in the play store anymore.. In all the attempt I did, I couldn't manage to build the chrome extension from the source code here.. I wonder if somebody from the community has a copy of the extension to share before the servers shout down.

And a big shout out to the WeAreWizards team for the work they have done!
Thank you guys
