bellBivDinesh··on Blocking LLMs from your website cuts you off from next-generation search

Atom was my first go to editor years ago when its git integration felt miles ahead. Then I saw gitglass(?) in VS Code and was moved to switch for shared workspace files at my job. I remember it as lightweight and fun.
bellBivDinesh··on Ask HN: What Happened to Evernote?
