The issues they want to address are already solved in Diversion ( https://diversion.dev ). Granted it's not open source yet, but that isn't usually a priority for game/entertainmen…

Thanks for the tip! Just did, everything seems to work. Maybe Webflow had a glitch?

We're barely starting to see AI's impact on infra - probably (FWIW https://diversion.dev is at 100% uptime. Different scale, obviously, but also we're not Microsoft.)

Perforce still exists and doing well, just because Git can't handle binary files and large repos. Which is a silly limitation these days.

I'm one of the founders of https://diversion.dev . It's a version control used mainly by game developers, but also by some audio and video artists. Its advantages over git for musi…

I'm sorry but your argument is defeated by the reality that there was a Hudna on October 7th, and Hamas broke it with a brutal attack killing and kidnapping hundreds of civilians (…

Fixed

Ooops! We built a new site and now it's broken. Thanks for flagging! Fixing, it will be available here: http://www.diversion.dev/blog/rss.xml

Interesting! So you basically implemented something similar to git LFS, correct? Can I ask what's your usecase and why not use LFS instead?

Thank you very much for the thoughtful comment! You're exactly right - Diversion's goal is to improve things such as what you mentioned. Moreover, we're aiming to build a flexible …

Thanks for the feedback! Point taken. The intro video is really just scratching the surface, you're right. We'll post more in-depth videos soon.

Thanks! I like GH Desktop as well, as a matter of fact our Web UI is a bit influenced by it :) The difference is that GHD is a GUI for git. It's quite good in hiding some of the co…

Exactly. The number of companies that implemented their own merge queue is too damn high.

Sorry, currently we're only offering Diversion as SaaS. I understand that some may prefer to self-host, this might be an option in the future.

Like any validation - LOTS and LOTS user interviews. We found out that general software devs are mostly ok with git (many of them hate it, but they manage). They are interested in …

Thanks for the feedback! Transfer is a challenge for sure. Can I ask how do you do remote work with on-prem?

The advantages are that it's much easier to set up, manage and use, and less expensive. You're right, the FAQ should reflect this better.

Done!

That's interesting!! Does the license prohibit any use of cloud to store the assets? Or private cloud is OK?

Why the worst? Microsoft is a more serious competitor to game studios with Xbox Game Studios and now Activision Blizzard. (And yet they do use Azure). You definitely have a point r…

Totally agree, it won't be easy. Companies do pay for GitHub/GitLab/Perforce though, and for indie devs there's the free tier. I think what made git really take off is actually Git…

Totally agree, and the launch post could only be that long :) We're trying to build a better dev experience, and the tech is only a means to that end. > If most of your features ar…

> Just how "cloud-native" are we talking here? So we're entirely serverless, using distributed cloud storage and DBs. Basically Diversion is up as long as you don't have a major AW…

I think Google Docs are doing a pretty good job there! I personally can't stand both Word and Excel so totally agree
