Someone will have to explain the value proposition to me... We have git. jujutsu works with git. git can do everything jujutsu can do (otherwise, jujutsu couldn't work with git). Thus, jujutsu is a UX / new steering wheel. ERSC is trying to be a GitHub competitor with what surplus value? Don't get me wrong, GitHub has a slew of its own problems, but I have not seen any commentary on how ERSC addresses any of the down…

We'll be saying more about this very soon, but the short version is this: we are not building a GitHub competitor in the way that SourceHut or Codeberg are. We are building infrastructure for enterprises, not a social coding site. While jj works with git, it doesn't have to. jj has the ability to work with many backends. Git is the popular one in the open source world, but that doesn't mean that other ones are not po…

As someone trying to compete in this space: will ERSC make the change/commit their unit of code review? It's one of the pet peeves I have with GitHub et al.

This website has unbearable scroll performance on mobile. Is it the animation at the top?

We tested it in mobile, but several people pointed out that we have more performance work to do to make sure that the animation is fast on lower-end hardware. I don't know what phone you're using, but we'll get it fixed regardless.

1 more data point - it's very slow on my desktop which has relatively high performance as well. Using Brave if that matters.

Yes. Stacked diffs are table stakes.

Well, stacking is one thing, doing it well is another (see github) ;)

But that's good to hear.

We're about to push a change that should improve this a bit, thanks for the reports!

If you ask "apart from better UX, what's the advantage of this thing?", you might as well ask "why would I buy an iPhone when my Nokia can do more things?".
