About Dani garcia Vaultwarden

From the project's README at github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.

An alternative server implementation of the Bitwarden Client API, written in Rust and compatible with official Bitwarden clients [disclaimer], perfect for self-hosted deployment where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.
