This project is about reverse engineering the firmware blobs. It states that they do not want to create a distribution like postmarketOS or other projects do.

If you wanted to create an ebook from scratch, how would you do this? Would you write plain html. Would you write markdown, and convert it? What tools would you use?

Nope, it just has been announced. There is no release yet.

Imho as everywhere in this field there are tradeoffs to choose for improving this problem: Complexity (rust, formal proofs), runtime overhead (GC), etc.

Hare tries to be simple, so that it's easier to reason about the code and hence maybe find/avoid such bugs more easily.

Yes you need to trust the software. But unless you don't store it on your computer, you need to trust software. The hard part is to figure out which software and whom to trust.

I would definitely use the browser password manager, if I could choose where to sync the data to. I think it's possible with firefox, but it's not straight forward.

I personally trust pfp, because the creator is doing audits of browser addons and publishes them on his blog. They are very well explained.

Also the code is quite compact compared to the other password managers. LastPass, 1Password and Bitwarden have more than 100,000 lines of code, including many third party dependencies. So an audit of PfP is more feasible.

It's still in the works and unfortunately I've written it in German. If you're still interested I'll share a link as soon as it's released. Should be sometime this summer.
