Mitro is Shutting Down on August 31st

I&#x27;ve used Mitro ever since I heard about it. It&#x27;s been really fantastic to use, and the team did an incredible job creating it. It has everything I look for in a password manager, even without any updates or changes since it&#x27;s been open sourced.<p>On a different note, even though I&#x27;d pay to use it, after following the Google Group pretty closely, it seems like Mitro has been unable to foster any sort of development community in the short time the project has been open source. I would have loved to help, but mitro-core is written in Java[0], a language I have little experience with (I don&#x27;t count my Data Structures class in college).<p>I&#x27;m curious if the demise of Mitro could be a useful case study of how not to open source a big codebase. It seems that they&#x27;re shutting it down primarily because of lack of development interest, including lack of interest from the original creators. It could be naturally assumed that they were &quot;expecting&quot; a community to form around Mitro, and embrace the open sourceness of it, but that obviously didn&#x27;t happen. I wonder if the founders would have done something different with the way they open sourced Mitro, given what has transpired.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mitro-co&#x2F;mitro&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;mitro-core" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mitro-co&#x2F;mitro&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;mitro-core</a>

I&#x27;m pretty stunned by the number of projects or services I discover exist by people posting their &quot;X is shutting down&quot; announcements on HN.

They were apparently acquihired by Twitter a year ago: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;31&#x2F;twitter-mitro&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;31&#x2F;twitter-mitro&#x2F;</a><p>So not unusual.

Such a shame to see it go. A fantastic password manager to use. Amazingly slick interface, cross-platform support, intuitive UI. We would have happily paid for it (we can&#x27;t afford $200&#x2F;month, but maybe $20 or $40 - we&#x27;re a small team of 5 people using it).<p>Big thanks to the Mitro team for keeping it alive until now. I&#x27;m still hopeful that this imminent closure will prompt someone to pick up the open-source project and keep it alive for longer (but understand that it&#x27;s not an easy task).

I&#x27;ve also used Mitro ever since I first saw it, and I&#x27;m really sad to see it go (had plans to implement the server in python, but at the risk of overseing a security flaw I opted not to)<p>Lately I&#x27;ve been looking at pass[0], do any of you have experience running this (with git)?<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.passwordstore.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.passwordstore.org&#x2F;</a>

I only had a brief look at the source code (it&#x27;s over at Github) but it seems one could easily run their own server?

They&#x27;ve put out the indication as early as March this year. Just found this:<p>@MitroCo&#x27;s Tweet: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;MitroCo&#x2F;status&#x2F;577435506524336128?s=09" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;MitroCo&#x2F;status&#x2F;577435506524336128?s=09</a>

This was a fantastic program and it saddens me greatly to see it go. I hope that someone will pick it up again, or perhaps find a way for the rest of us to run our own servers, since switching to another password manager that doesn&#x27;t do as good of a job (at least not for free) is going to be quite the inconvenience.

I assume at $200&#x2F;month it somehow becomes worth it to keep going as someone&#x27;s side project? I can&#x27;t imagine twitter would keep it around for that little revenue (unless the acquihire from last year was simply just a hire, without buying the legal mitro entity)

I am interested in taking over. I have a business idea for it, maybe it might just save the project.

Oh, no, too bad! Mitro is a real life-saver, using it since the very beginning... This will be quite a step back for my web-usage-happiness-level.<p>I was wondering how will they make money, and looks like I need not to wonder any longer :(

It&#x27;s not long, but why leave a week where you can create new accounts for a dying service?

$200&#x2F;month for the whole technical infrastructure?
