What problem does this solve, as opposed to a git repositories?

To me, declarative infrastructure management is incredibly important in order to reason about a deployment. Even though under the hood, yes, everything is stateful, it’s something I want abstracted away, not as a primary way of interacting with my infrastructure.

I guess what I’m asking is what the canonical use case / target user of this is.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No, just double checked. Why did you think so?

Hit the sign up button at the top, scrolls me to the bottom but there's nothing there. Using Brave on Mac, even tried with blockers disabled.

yeah the button scrolls you to the bottom but there's no way to sign up.

Why not just a text file? Is this the main reason?

It seems easier to solve that problem via a source-control hook to check a text file, than move over to SQL. But maybe this proposal gets you other things too?
