Wow! Will definitely try this out. I currently manually do my website design and content through HTML/CSS on a Github Repo through the online editor, that is set up as Github Pages.
Yes of course, I could a proper setup with my own IDE and then github desktop or something similar, but honestly I got so many things going on in my life, I have no interest in setting up everything perfectly - theres a mental cost associated with that.
Also when I am switching between my Mac, my vmware Linux and my work Windows PC, I don’t have to worry about setup - just login and get typing!
I would guess I’m not the only one!
EDIT: Looks like it wont be free after the beta. That reduces the value proposition a fair bit. Because even though I wrote above that I prefer avoiding doing Github Desktop setup for every new repo, I’m not going to pay for that service given it doesn’t take that long to do and is relatively straightforward. Unless it was a very nominal charge. However GitHub is a great service, so I would support them just for the sake of supporting, but that’s separate to the value proposition of this.
