Aside from just criticizing the actions of Facebook here it seems strange to me that GitHub so famously (due to its 'Fork' button imo) has a "user/repository"-style namespace for code but that their "Marketplace" has a flat namespace of only your app[0] name. According to its front page they are "tools to improve your workflow", but I just feel out of the loop and honestly slightly confused about what this is or why I would want to use it. I guess I'm officially old now. Oh well, back to neovim :)
