adamsol··on Show HN: GitQuill – free cross-platform GUI for Git, inspired by GitKraken
I feel comfortable with web technologies, and a large part of this project was using Monaco Editor as a powerful diff viewer, so I'll stay with my current stack. I'd be happy to make a pure web app, but I don't think it's possible with something like a Git client, since it needs to call system commands. Maybe there are some hacks available for local apps, but why would that be better than just using Electron. Yeah, it takes some space, but what is this compared to, for example, any modern computer game.

It's clearly a matter of taste. I, on the other hand, can't stand Qt or apps that try to look "native" in general. At least on Windows, it feels like going back to the previous century. The modern look, known from websites, is the only one that works for me, hence I use Electron. This way I also have full control over the UI and it looks the same on every OS.

Hi, the developer of Pyxell here. Thanks for sharing!

I'm currently adding some features and changing the typing syntax from C-like to Python-like, after the discussion on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/jlnqf....
