They've now locked the Github issue to further discussion. Apparently one possible alternative is Vaultwarden?

Such a shame that this keeps happening with open source projects once the money people step in.

Vaultwarden is a replacement for the server, the issue here is the license of the desktop client as I understand it.

Are there any open source frontends compatible with Vaultwarden backend?

Presumably the versions before the rug pull, although I haven't personally tried to build them in a long time in order to know how much effort that would take
