I also have this problem, so I made a tool that lets you write your commit messages in-advance. It helps me to focus on one problem at a time. https://github.com/synek/git-plan One feature I wanted to add was for it to

Hey folks, I'm the author. Context-switching is hard. Having the discipline to prioritise effectively is hard, using git branches effectively is hard, and building tools to magically make it easier is...hard. Git-plan doesn't solv

Oops, good point. I totally forgot about Show HN (I'm not on here very often). It's still in development for now, so when the first "release" version is ready I'll post it as a Show HN. I agree about the declarative

Hi guys, Metro is a new way for companies to collect data. It works by allowing your users to generate useful data on any website, and share it with your company. It's mutually beneficial, and ethical by design. Feel free to ask me any

You have full control. Data generation is opt-in, on a per-project basis, and you can pause data generation whenever you want. The data is generated by plugins called DataSources, which are community-made and open-source. Since the communit
