Back in March, I wrote about Bitwarden doubling their Premium price — and specifically how they did it. Buried in a feature announcement. Priced in fake...
It’s really straightforward to fork a client, when all you have to do is plug in your own server anyway. In a worst case scenario from the company, you can continue using your current BitWarden clients (maybe something extra horrendous will happen and you’ll have to downgrade), and talented people will start forking it within a reasonable timeframe.
would it be also plausible for say vaultwarden to make it’s own client and just completely fork over if bitwarden becomes less open?

Vaultwarden is its own client
Vaultwarden has its own website. It uses the Bitwarden client though. There is - so far - no (dedicated) Vaultwarden client yet.
A new client specifically for Vaultwarden will show up if Bitwarden becomes hostiles against it and purposely sabotage the API.
Sorry I meant android/iphone apps and browser extensions. It would seem to me that’s the easier part with all the work done on making the client.
