Have you tracked or checked how well bitwarden_rs keeps up with mainline Bitwarden on changes and fixes?

I’m usually concerned about these forks getting way behind or getting abandoned after sometime. At least mainline Bitwarden has paid subscription tiers to support ongoing development and maintenance, which may provide some predictable income for that.

Their Github page has activity, and the last merged PR commit was 7 days ago. Running this for 3 months now after I've migrated from 1password, I can say that everything that extension has (password generation, notes, file upload etc.) is supported by the server as well as nice web UI.

Security-wise, I used nginx over my custom domain to enforce HTTPS and put bitwarden app itself behind a firewall.

As a bonus, bitwarden_rs also enables all premium features for you ("You are a premium member!" label is by default in every client).
