I have been using pass[https://www.passwordstore.org/] for two years now and it works reasonably well.
Desktop "GUI": rofi-pass[https://github.com/carnager/rofi-pass]
Android Client: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.zeapo.pwdstore/
Sync: Git+Manual download
All components are open source and actively maintained.

Would be nice to have https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=5866 resolved so embedding/extending V8 would be a lot easier.

Neat. I wasn't aware firebase had independent hosting option.
It definitely looks easier to setup than GAE and I would've probably used it if I was aware. Thanks for pointing this out.

> Mobile internet coverage is awesome.
It is actually much better in remote-ish area compared to heart of Kathmandu.
> Internet, electricity, and infrastructure is all improving and the costs are still super cheap.
The internet situation has improved drastically over the years. In just 3 years I went from crappy 128kbps to 256kbps, 512kbps, 1mbps, 2mbps, 5mbps and 10mbps fiber connection at basically the same monthly fee (less than $20/mo and it includes TV).
Things are definitely improving but Kathmandu is still unlivable due to dust. Monsoon can't come soon enough so we can trade it for knee deep mud. :-P

There is also http://react.semantic-ui.com/ which I have found to be very useful.

If anyone is interested seeing another interesting service, our organization is currently developing user onboarding over SSH (WIP). All sources are public [1] and easy to follow/read. It's written in nodejs and has nice blessed/blessed-contrib based UI.

This seems to do same thing as tmux+weechat on server and weechat/weechat-android/glowing bear as client but graphical.
If you want try tmux+weechat combo but don't have/want to setup a VPS, create an account at hashbang.sh. It's a free shell service and we drop new users in weechat instance running tmux.

I have something similar bookmarked though I can't remember the original author. I've been using it for a while as quick note taking app and it works wonderfully. (tested on chrome)
javascript:(function(d){d.write('<body contenteditable style="font: 2rem/1.5 monospace;max-width:60rem;margin:0 auto;padding:4rem;">');var k = 'c'; var q = d.querySelector('body');q.innerHTML=localStorage[k];q.oninput=function(){localStorage[k]=q.innerHTML;}})(document);aagat | 10 years ago | on: List of Y Combinator companies I have worked with (hacked)
Well there are billion Indians, so it's no a surprise.
Just bring your own supplies if you are visiting and you should be alright. It's not like we can be of any help regarding that :-P

Oh haha. Your surname is common one in Kathmandu and uncommon one outside the valley. I guess it's more widespread that I think lol

Are you Nepali/of Nepali origin? It's great to see a (possible) compatriot featured in 1st page of HN for hacking HN.
The reward does seem a bit thrifty as others have pointed out. Keep up the good work.
