#13Thanks for working on this project! It was mentioned on the JJ Discord server that there doesn't seem to be any information available about who you are. Especially since the project seems to be closed-source, perhaps you could share some information about who you are in order to build trust. I hope you understand. I think users may hesitate to download and install the application without knowing anything about its pu…
That's their choice, don't try to pressure them to self-dox. What is wrong with you / the "JJ Discord server"? Please identify yourself and everyone there so I can be sure to up my paranoia around each of you.

#14It's difficult to go back to a separate VCS app after using IDE git support (specifically VSCode & the 'git graph' extension which is sadly permanently abandoned).
give "git lens" a try.

Totally understandable! I'm a solo dev out of LA who's mostly consulted on various apps and sites over the years, and out of my own personal need I began working on the project earlier this year. The project is indeed closed-source. Personally I've had experiences where I found the project moved forward towards the roadmap much faster - specifically when considering smaller-scale projects that are UI heavy and theref…
More power to you! I bought Sublime Merge. I'd consider buying yours once it has a little more history. I've been using gg and really miss a side-by-side diff view. Maybe that makes less sense with jj though

I think you misunderstood. I didn't ask for their name. Luckily the author didn't seem to misunderstand.
As for information about me, you can search the internet for my username. Let me know if you don't find anything and I can try to help. I'm not going to share information about others on the Discord server.

You can make the code open source without accepting pull requests or contributions from other people. You might still get pull requests or patches, but you can set expectations up front and then ignore/auto-close any contributions you get.
This is how SQLite is developed, for example.
