The demographic seems off to me for this: How much revenue is there to make from a customer that willingly spends their time watching ads? Is that the person you want to invest in? What's the ROI of paying people to watch your ads?

Exactly. Fixing bugs is one of the best ways to learn a new codebase. Assuming you have a process for code reviews and some form of testing in place, it's not like there's much risk of a bad change getting out. I'd actually

I would describe TortoiseGit as file-centric, while most other git Gui tools (including this, judging by the screenshots) are timeline-centric. With timelines, you are dealing mainly with diffs (what's changed in your working directory

If you put something on a public site it can be harvested, and there's really no stopping that. It's like video DRM: you can spend billions on the tech, but ultimately, if nothing else, anyone can still aim any camera at the scree
