clipperz

The recent Christmas maintenance went quick and smooth.
Clipperz is now up and running again … from Iceland!

During the Christmas day, Giulio will be performing extensive maintenance on Clipperz infrastructure. Nothing to be worried about, but it will require a few hours downtime.

We are just back from JS Day 2013, a really stimulating conference on Javascript held in Verona (Italy). Giulio gave a talk on what he learned about designing and building single-page web applications. And given that Clipperz online password manager is probably the most extreme case of this kind of apps, he knows quite a lot on this topic that is also strictly related to the security architecture of Clipperz. See his slide deck below.

This post is just to say thanks for the heartwarming response to Clipperz first fundraising campaign. We also have some good news for Clipperz open source projects.

Clipperz announces its first fundraising campaign to support the development of its free, multilingual, open source online password manager.

I’ve played a little with Google’s new ngram app that, by searching all the digitized books, allows you trace the usage of a word over time. And of course I’ve tested it with “passwords” getting a quite interesting result.

Bruce Schneier says that privacy is controlling your data. How true. I would just add that control is not enough, I want exclusive control and ownership of my data. And if you are using Clipperz password manager it’s probably because you share a similar vision.

Just a quick post to say thanks to the great community of users of Clipperz password manager. I’m proud and delighted to see all those interesting discussions in the Clipperz forum, the steady stream of donations, and the amazing reviews from so many reputable bloggers and websites. Thanks!

Giulio and I are looking for a job. We have been working at Clipperz for almost 3 years, investing our own money, time and energy. We cannot afford it any longer.
