I’ve used SourceTree for a decade, Fork is the only one I’ve switched to partially (at work).

I probably will switch back to ST even at work because I dislike:

- I want the split view of ST where I can simply see the changes and not lose the commit log.

- “see only current branch” is super useful in ST to see only the current branch’s commit log.

(Partially writing this in hopes of someone pointing out ways to do this in Fork)


You can do "see only current branch" with the little filter icon when you hover next to a branch. Although I do find myself getting lost amongst branches more easily compared to Sourcetree, I think there's some difference in how filters are combined that isn't ideal (but I can't remember specifics)

You can also go to View in the menu and click "Filter by active branch" (Ctrl+Shift+A).

Also if you, like me, wanted to blame or view history for specific files there does not seem to be a way by clicking in the GUI to achieve it. But by using Ctrl+P you get the command search and can search for "Blame" or "File history".


I use file history aaaall the time. My favourite feature in Fork.

Thank you!

To properly make this work you need to download the app, enter a bunch of information, go to settings to disable sleep mode, not touch your phone and also not have it accidentally swipe away from the app.

Seems like the (only?) target audience for this would hardcode networkers going to network events. And honestly, I think people who go to a event like this don't have this problem of missing a connection they wanted.


what if the app could guide you more on exactly who you wanted to meet. The more info you give, the better we can match with:

1. potential customers / vendors (business network event)

2. potential mates (speed dating)

3. potential friends (222.place or timeleft)

I'd keep my phone out at a 222 event if the app guided me into a group of people that all share a specific interest.


I don't think the business events is realistic. It would have to be huge, generic, and have a huge amount of people be very specific with their wants-and-needs, on top of the technical issues I brought up earlier.

Speed dating is called speed dating for a reason, you're supposed to be forced to meet everyone. Probably takes more time to setup yet another dating profile than it takes to simply go through the process.

From what I read on 222, their entire purpose is to get away from algorithms, apps, and whatnot.

Timeleft has, according to their landing page, six people per activity.

I don't mean to discourage, by the way. It's neat tech, I personally just don't see where it could best be used.

EDIT: I could see speed dating have some sort of "prompt" build on top of this. Say the app is rebranded to "SpeedDater" and the organizers said to download it. Then while in the event itself, the apps could give prompts or fun stuff to talk about in realtime, and then later you could eg. say yes/no after the fact, at which point the matches are unlocked. Not sure this requires the local-thing though.


222 and timeleft you start in groups of 5 or 6, but then there is the "after party" with all those small groups combined. That's where this idea first came from. I was at one of those after parties and I was like wait and sec, it's 2025 why does this feel exactly like how we did this in 1980s?


Why would people who want to hack not have iPhones?


I grew up with VHS tapes on CRT screens. It was totally fine, I watched more movies back then than I do today.


In Czechoslovakia ~ 1988, video players were rather expensive and complicated to acquire, so we as kids watched movies from cassettes together as well, at the homes of the few who were rich enough to afford them.

One of those parents was a truck driver who was able to cross the Iron Curtain and always smuggled something interesting back.


Yea, also often the movies were cams from people that recorded in the theater so you can see the audience walking around etc.

Quality hardly matters when the real treasure was getting the movie in the first place.


Does filling the entire landing page with only "punchy" sentences actually work? It feels like I am reading a trailer.


I have had a handful of people request additional licenses (at a discount) for the purpose of running my software on multiple.


> might be the only ones actually turning a profit on all of this

I don't think this is true at all. How many such influencers are there, really, a dozen? I'd guess there are a million people making everything from absolute bank, down to pocket money. Most of them are probably not even aware that these influencers exists.


I use the mouse a lot. I am using a home made [0] app that gives me dropzones when I move a window. The dropzones show up AT the mouse, I can more or less flick the window to where I want it without moving it anywhere or using the keyboard. Although I have not set it up on my newest macbook yet, and I find the default behavior OK.

I do use hot corners extensively to switch between apps and app windows. Can NOT live without them.

[0] It's actually a modified version of an old Rectangle version


Yes, and Dropbox could have been a handful of unix commands.

I don't think I would use an app for this, but as far as I can tell, it aims to crowdsource silent locations, something a shortcut couldn't realistically achieve.


POP mails stopped being imported from my hotmail since some time. I noticed it recently but could not make it work again. Switching to the new (to me, anyway) "gamilify" option from within Gmail settings - I experienced a similar avalanche. Probably two-three weeks ago, but these emails were from decades ago until recent. They did not go to junk, but they were labelled as "email/x/x/junk".
