So how do you measure 'code sharing'?

Most languages will handle file opening transparently, regardless of OS. Is that code sharing? What about the extra bit of logic you have to tack on because file system Y doesn't handle Z?

It also occurs to me that I would rather have 98% code sharing, nicely encapsulated in 1 file, rather than 99% spread over 101 files (not an accusation aimed at this code base).

Still seems impressive.

After like.. a couple of minutes I think I got it now. Tweetdeck is another popular app and this is kind of like it, but for Github instead of Twitter? Really confusing title for someone who have no clue about what tweetdeck was, which I assume most of us don't. Still doesn't understand what it actually does for me since I have no clue what tweetdeck does?

Yes, it's a Twitter like UI for Github comments/issues/etc.

I spent like 2 mins looking at this and I still don't know what I'm looking at.

It’s a GitHub client.

GitHub notifications client it seems. Opens everything in a new tab for me. (which is still nice!)

Interesting, seems useful. I don't use GitHub enough to necessitate needing an entire TweetDesk like solution, but I can see the practicality for those that maintain repositories. The license however, for anyone looking into hosting this themselves, is not open source, but only source available. Here is the complete license (without the emojis, looks like they don't parse on HN): # License Copyright (c) 2018 [Bruno L…

It's clearly open source. What you mean to say is that it's not Free Software. Don't get me wrong I'm an ally of open source, but the very notion that open source or free software are somehow protected words is funny by itself. Someone created a decent app, posted the source for it and allows you to play around with it. Be grateful, or ignore it, or bash it for technical reasons, but this "I don't actually care about…

It's not about copyright or the OSI's lack thereof. It's about abusing language to bring along a mindshare that isn't rightfully yours. The OSI definition of open source is the broadly accepted definition of open source. Using it to describe something which isn't is lying, in the same way that serving someone bacon and eggs when you put "cake" on your menu is lying. Neither the terms "bacon and eggs" nor "cake" has to be copyrighted for this to be true.

Not that I'm acusing the author of DevHub of lying, I'm just clarifying the problem.

Thanks for the comment! Totally agree with you :)

To be honest I would be very interested on web-applications that connect to Gitlab services

What sorts of things would you be interested in? I’ve been building a product that can improve product quality by analyzing the relationship and history between source code and tickets. We use gitlab and have always treated gitlab as a first class citizen.

I want a tool that allows visibility across projects, because this "keeping track of status by email" is for the birds.

The "Issues", "Merge Requests", and "Todos" across the tab bar isn't helpful in the same way that I would _imagine_ a TweetDeck-ish layout by project or by item type would be
