I mostly blog about issues I ran into so the posts tend to be practical
Getting a "503 Over Quota" when trying to access your site :(
Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Dev_Story. If you were able to have people automatically grab tasks that would be awesome (which I see is already on your backlog). I got to level 8, but the clicking quickly got unruly
Yeah pretty much every app I run nowadays is Electron. Don't love that, but they bring me enough value that it's 100% worth it for me. I'm with the other commenters that I don't like having to google a git command every time I have to do something more complex than add/commit. GK is perfect in that sense
Yeah there definitely used to be some perf issues. There have been some massive improvements recently though for big repos. You should give it a try again!
I'm personally a huge fan of https://www.gitkraken.com/ (I also used to work there.) Don't have to memorize git cli commands and get beautiful visuals on top of that.
