TIL that this is the successor of K9.

Awesome news! I hope.

They have been the same team for the past 2 years. I think they have done a pretty good job developing new features thoughtfully and improving the user experience. One thing I'm really enjoying about this release is that they have made it much faster to toggle between accounts.

If they are confident adding their branding, then I take it as a show of confidence in their work.

I don't believe K-9 is going anywhere. They will be about the same code base
