What happenned?

Hi! I reviewed your repository that stores passwords in a decentralized blockchain. The extension was made back in 2018, a bit while ago.
May I ask you why the project didn't go on? What has failed? Because I'm planning on doing something very similar, and it would be great to hear the reasons behind this.

Good question Alexander - I had the same idea as you & came here wondering the same thing :)

The concept for a decentralised password manager seems great and it perfectly aligns to the Web3 ideal of decentralised platforms.

Probably the choice of Nebulas blockchain is what didn't work - I personally would've considered Juno or Avax subnet

@amatesi I'm beginning to build a multiplatform react-native app (although it's pretty hard to handle everything because many developers opt for Web Browser technologies) which is related to storing passwords, private data & files. Everything is decentralized. I will be using Solana's blockchain as a way of storing the IPNS link (Interplanetary Name System) to store the addresses of all the user's content in the IPFS.
This way, users will have the security of a wallet, persistence of a cryptocurrency and safety and trust-lessnes of a decentralized storaging system.

Sensational - will follow your effort.

Hopefully you'll include "family" or "teams" plans (ie. With multi sigs), Solana mobile integration and android autofill service provider support?

But yeah, very interesting 👍

@alexanderbkl any progress? Had this idea also after the Lastpass hack yesterday.

Nebulas Mainnet Service is now terminated

@luukasmakila @amatesi @parsaM110 I made a startup called hello.app based on the idea of this specific repository.
It went bankrupt, but the platform is still operational and will continue to be so because it is extremely cheap to maintain.
Although it is not designed for password management, it has a similar conecpt of client-side encryption with a wallet and decentralized blockchain data upload.
