I see the same interface present on GitLab and Gitea, both great open source projects that provide selfhosted (and hosted) alternatives to Github. It was pretty novel when it was introduced, but not anymore.
- Tarq0n 6y agoJust because others have copied the interface doesn't make it 1) portable 2) part of the standard 3) a protocol. You'd ideally want all three for a viable alternative to email-based patches.
- sreevisakh 6y agoThat's exactly what is needed. But we will likely just reinvent SMTP. Why not just build better interfaces (web, gui and cli) around SMTP? On the other hand, SMTP is starting to show its age - too many parts, lack of privacy and abuse. Wish there was a new protocol in the spirit of SMTP, but modern design - something like what Matrix is to IRC.
