Password Managers are coming to Horse! How the Horse community came together so we can bring third-party password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass, to Horse

Welcome to the Rider’s Digest blog, where we share behind-the-scenes updates on Horse and what it’s really like to build an indie browser from scratch.

Hello Riders, Pascal and I have some exciting news to share: third-party password managers are coming to Horse. And it’s all thanks to you!

Why is this important?

Since launching Horse, many of you have requested support for third-party password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass. And, while Horse comes with its own built-in password manager, Saddlepack, we knew that integrating third-party support would make browsing so much smoother.
There was just one problem: Chrome extensions weren’t supported in Electron—the platform that powers Horse, as well as apps like Slack and Discord. We’d been thinking of a few different options, all of which were out of reach for a two-person team at this stage. Then, something changed.

How it happened

An exciting opportunity emerged. An Electron maintainer submitted code that would allow password managers to work in all Electron apps. Pascal shared this development on Twitter, and your response was simply incredible. In just three days, it became the most upvoted pull request in Electron's history!
This support caught the attention of the Electron core team, and now the PR has been merged into Electron—laying the groundwork for password manager support in Horse.

Thank you!

We’re incredibly grateful for how Horse’s community came together to make this happen. While we’re still a small browser, the support and enthusiasm you all bring is so amazing. We’re just getting started with Horse, and it’s exciting to have you along for the ride!

What about other extensions?

The new extension support is still in its early stages, so Pascal will be focusing on getting password managers working smoothly first. Once that’s solid, we’ll begin exploring support for other types of extensions (with no specific timeline just yet!).

What’s next?

We’ll keep you posted on when you can start using your password manager in Horse. In the meantime, stay tuned for updates on our extensions page.
Catch you on the Trail,
Pascal & Eleanor

Sencha tea leaves and brewed tea

Sencha (Japanese: 煎茶) is a type of Japanese ryokucha (緑茶, green tea) which is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. This is as opposed to matcha (抹茶), powdered Japanese green tea, where the green tea powder is mixed with hot water and therefore the leaf itself is included in the beverage.

History

Sencha was first created in Japan in the 18th century by Nagatani Soen, a tea farmer from Uji, Kyoto. The process developed by Nagatani, which involved steaming, rolling, and drying the tea leaves, resulted in a tea that was more stable and maintained its quality during transportation. This innovation revolutionized the Japanese tea industry, replacing the previously common offering of matcha.

Production

After harvesting the leaves are steamed for about 15-45 seconds to prevent oxidization of the leaves. This step creates the characteristic flavor of Japanese green tea by deactivating the enzymes that are responsible for oxidation. The leaves are then cooled and dried in a bamboo tray by air, and then are shaped by pressing and rolling into the characteristic needle shape.

Grades

Sencha comes in different grades, depending on the quality and the parts of the tea plant used:

  • Shincha: First harvest of the year, has a fresh, grassy flavor and higher caffeine content.
  • Gyokuro: Premium grade shaded green tea, with a sweeter, more umami taste than regular sencha.
  • Asamushi: Lightly steamed sencha, with a more fragrant, lighter taste.
  • Chumushi: Medium-steamed sencha, balancing aroma and flavor.
  • Fukamushi: Deeply steamed sencha, with a stronger flavor and less bitterness.
