Is there any thought to merging efforts with the original KeePass project? I know it's C# based but with .NET Core being an option now, maybe it doesn't require Mono and could be made cross-platform. Or maybe keep the C++ code and fold it back into the original project?

I just hate to have multiple projects spend resources on what is essentially the same thing. I think there are gains to be had by combining resources together.

The larger problem on cross-platform KeePass was never Mono directly (aside from the FUD), but rather the WinForms UI. One could blame Mono for not having a visually pleasing implementation of WinForms, although .NET core has nothing at all.

Refactoring out a core and building multiple UIs would be an interesting and large project.

It doesn't necessarily have to be multiple UIs (although that's probably better in the long term) but there are x-platform options like:

1) Eto.Forms (https://github.com/picoe/Eto) 2) Avalonia (https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia)
