- Well I was thinking about making a competitor to SPI because they only support GitHub repo’s.
This news makes it easy. I’m starting the engines on this…
- Working on an idea after it has been Sherlocked is a bold choice.
- What does Sherlocked mean?
- It means Apple (or big tech) has adopted/cloned your product basically killing your products ability to succeed
In reference to when Apple created a project called Sherlock that was a direct copy of a popular Mac app Watson
- It's a reference to Sherlock (and later Spotlight) being added to macOS, rendering the previous third-party search-launcher tools obsolete.
- Or send in a PR for gitlab/… support?
- They did not want that and discouraged it.
- [dead]
- Back when I was following Swift, I was a bit confused by there being 2 distinct sites that seemed to be pretty much the same thing:
- Not optimistic here. While I'm glad the SPI guys are getting paid (that is, a full time job), Apple is pretty bad at open source and developer services both, and they explicitly call out developer identity as a future direction, which doesn't fill me with hope.
- I see the opposite, they have a lot of oss projects nowadays and most of their new, interesting stuff is getting open sourced too, a la Microsoft
