    I second that. It has a limited feature set, which makes you focus on what matters. It is not like Jira that buries you in tons of options and information. Definitely give GitHub p…

    Precisely this! 1MB is perfect for a small "hosting" company putting other small companies online, e.g. John's bakery. A git deploy functionality would drastically improve automati…

    This is such a cool project that deserves some attention. As a side note: one of the project members was interviewed on The Changelog[0]. The interview presents many topics related…

    Photopea is not open source [1], it is a free SaaS. Photopea's Github repository [2] is only for bug tracking apparently. [1] https://github.com/photopea/photopea/issues/45#issueco…

    As someone that worked in the industry and is now in the academia, I think rewardingness is relative. I see academia as much (or as little) rewarding as the industry. For me, the r…

    Comment #11479776
