Have a look at my Bluepass project. It uses a much more modern UI and has P2P sync built in. I did a (failed) fundraiser for it on Hacker News 6 months ago. After the fundraiser failed I continued to work on it in my spare time. See bluepass.org and github.com/geertj/bluepass. I'm about 2-3 weeks away from releasing an updated version.

As someone who is a big supporter of Firefox Sync [0]: What will this provide me over Firefox Sync, which has a built in encryption layer on their (admittedly cloud) service? I can pull their code and host my own Firefox sync server, and someone has written a special PHP-based version for inclusion into OwnCloud. So, what is so special here except the use of buzzword P2P? (See next question below.) How will you do to P2P without some kind of centralized bootstrapping service with the prevalence of NAT and people who do not know how to port-forward? (I just saw the Github repos, so I will examine this myself in a bit.) UPDATE: It would appear you are using mDNS and/or Zeroconf [1] to handle this? I am still not sure how this will ease the NAT and/or syncing over public Internet. Why should I trust you? What have you done other than th

is project? Not to be increasingly blunt, but you are not the Mozilla Foundation and your Github repos do not show much other than work on co-routines and AD service wrappers. That is useful to me, but I would like to see more security work and knowledge of crypto libraries if I trust you with password manager code. What else do you work on? Your blog does not show me too much, and I cannot find much mention of you to warrant 60,000 USD for such a project. I am correct in seeing you a Marketing/Product Manager? Sorry to be harsh, but honestly I think most of HN would be worried about these points. UPDATE: Ok, maybe I was a little too harsh; you do seem to have some more experience than I had previously estimated, given some Googling and your Linkedin profile, if legit.
