@mitchellh @bentlegen Try revdiff.com
Works from inside terminal, shortcuts are also great + works well w agentic flow (annotating diffs)

Hunk is very good. It has completely replaced any other local diff viewer for me. It looks good, its speedy, good keyboard shortcuts, good mouse support for fallback. Great software @bentlegen. github.com/modem-dev/hunk

I/O is less than 3 weeks away 🤯 We want YOU to help us create the countdown that will play before the keynote begins.
Using @GoogleAIStudio or Canvas in @GeminiApp vibe code your most creative countdown concept and send it to us by May 6th.
The only rule is that your build has to feature a large number between 1 and 10. Check the replies in this thread for sample projects to draw inspiration from or remix.
You can find more info and directions on how to submit your builds here: goo.gle/codethecountdo…

I have a draft blog post swirling around this exact topic (but not refined enough to publish yet). I think the key thing is I (personally) don't want a NEW GitHub. I want GitHub to be better.
For example:
- GitHub issues should be as beautiful and good as Linear
- GitHub PRs should be as good as Graphite
- GitHub Git infra should be as fast/minimal as Pierre
- GitHub wikis should be more like Notion
- GitHub discussions & shouldn't exist (multiple "better issue" providers including Linear show why)
- etc.
I'm not saying to clone those full companies outright, but their core product, arguably the core features, aren't even 2% as good as those external products. Maybe aim for 10% to start.
There's the "oh no there's so much tech debt" argument. And I'm sure GH is on an absolutely mountain of tech debt. That's why in my prior twoots I've argued to just make them separate products to start only for agility reasons, unapologetically do not integrate with "old github." Net net startups beat encumbants all the time for reasons.
That's just a product/technical POV though. GitHub also has a huge PR/marketing problem. They talk through corp speak, their marketing pages (e.g. the dot com) speaks to multiple personas confusingly, they have no singular visionary to look up or trust, they have nobody who makes the outward community feel seen.
There's so much more here...
I think for the human side, GitHub already has what it needs to be really, really, really good. It really feels like they just like fearless vision, and the courage/power to say "fuck you" to a whole lot of things that are distracting them.

What is unclear to me is what people actually want some new GitHub to be.
To me, the biggest challenge GitHub has always had is that it is trying to serve two very different worlds. On one side, it is a social network around code and open source. On the other, it is infrastructure for companies building software.
Those two groups operate almost in opposite ways, so the product has always been some kind of compromise between them. Because those users are so far apart, it can fail both of them in different ways.
Inside a company, you mostly just want to review and merge code. You are not discovering new code, and you are probably not forking things. You may have a monorepo, a known team, and a trusted environment. What you want from GitHub is efficiency and safety: PRs, review, ownership, CI, Actions, tests, security checks, and a clear path to getting code merged.
Open source is different. It is much more public and much less trusted. You need better ways to figure out who is contributing, what to accept, how to manage the project, how to handle issues, and how to maintain trust with people you may not know.
So are people asking for a new open source code hosting and social network, or do they want better private infrastructure for software teams? Or both?
I would never choose to build both from the start. I think every product gets better when it is more purpose-built and designed around a specific need.
You could maybe imagine some nested model, where private repos have a much simpler and more focused mode, but you can still exit that mode and browse around the public space.

@neogoose_btw Search works in v2.
Current one uses Spotlight from Apple.
So its more like “search doesn't work in Spotlight”

A few lesser-known products I love and use a ton:
1. cleanshot.com for screenshots
2. supercut.ai replaced Loom for me, so clean
3. textexpander.com for frequent snippets
4. matthewpalmer.net/rocket/ for emojis
5. brain.fm for focus

@sama please connect chatgpt to codex like claude does 🙏
Really want to switch — only thing that's stopping me.

@vaggelisdrak Probably wrong read.
Microsoft → more resources and reach → more popular → more load → more outages.
OR better tracking.
