I’ve long wanted what seems like a simple feature in GDocs: right click and “show me who wrote this”. All the data is there, and can eventually be determined by inspecting the history, but it’s not well exposed.
- savrajsingh 6y agoI love how git calls this feature “blame” :)
- _fat_santa 6y agoFunny story, I was once in a company meeting and said something alone the lines of "blame is on X Engineer for that feature". Non technical product manager thought I was actually calling the guy out. Well sorta, but more technically.

- hyperdimension 6y ago% git thank-profusely
- JadeNB 6y agoBecause of Linus's well documented concern for people's feelings?
- conanbatt 6y agoIt is happening to master -> main on github.

- datguacdoh 6y agoyou can use the versions feature and enable the detailed view to see who wrote any character over time. not as easy as right click, but you can definitely do it.
- ramraj07 6y agoSheets does it and it's so useful!
