With such a huge investment comes the obligation to eventually pay it back. Is this another one of my favourite tools going the way of Dropbox, 1Password and all other companies that were formed around what should be a platform feature, which took on way too large investment sums and were eventually forced to become the everything, losing sight of their core values?

I sincerely hope not, but there's so much bad precedent.

I haven't really felt like 1Password's product materially strayed from the original mission. If anything, I'm even more delighted with the team functionality, shared vaults, quick keyboard access in 1Password 8, etc.

I wouldn't put them in the Dropbox bucket.

Also, I think the value Tailscale provides is fairly unique and far from obviously a platform feature like file storage and perhaps even password management.

I found 1Passwords UI/UX and development tooling choices... not ideal, as of 1P v8. I miss the native apps, and the latest iOS app/integration had far too many bugs initially (I just use autofill alone now, on my iPhone. Not ideal, but good enough)
