Git as a backend is an easy way to build collaborative apps

• samuelstros 2y ago
  This internal demo might be of interest to the HN crowd. We are building a git-like change control system called lix that can store different file formats. Why? - file-based software is amazing because of interop and data ownership - storing a file in change control makes a file collaborative, eliminating the need for "the cloud" - we can solve globalization of software with an interoperable system of apps

    Were building a prompt management tool internally, here devs and domain experts needed to work on the same files. Wanted to save the time to build a cloud backend for that, so was already doing that with git to get version management and good integration for devs, but had to build a couple workarounds. Yours looks a lot better. This could be huge.
