Even ignoring the reliability and security issues, Github feels like an app from 2008.

Issues aren't a proper project management tool and wikis aren't fit as documentation.

I've completely abandoned Github.

This has become so typical that we've started working on a modern Github alternative called Plain.

Perfect timing that we post https://www.jxd.dev/writing/building-plain just as this latest incident started.

While OP can generate MD, HTML and PDFs we've since moved away from that as the default to an approach in favour of just rendering the outputs as HTML/JSX.

You're 100% right we should make it easy for anyone just checking out the project to see the generated results without running the examples. I will add a CLI example and commit the generated policies to the repo.

Thanks for pointing this out and sorry our docs aren't up to the standard they need to be.

Fair point. "No extra build step privacy policies with Astro" just didn't have the same ring to it.

This was just a small quality of life improvement for the Astro users so it's a huge surprise to see how many reads it's getting.

Hopefully we get the same response next week when we launch 2 very exciting features.

I think most apps don't update often enough. We've seen products with privacy/cookie policies that are 5+ years old and totally out of sync with the product itself.

We're building OpenPolicy not necessarily to reduce the risk companies have of litigation, but instead to be more transparent with users and to build trust.

In the next version we'll be releasing auto-instrumentation that tracks data/third parties to always keep things in sync.

This is devastating news.

When I started university he gave a talk to all the new CompScis which as you can imagine was incredibly inspirational for an aspiring Software Engineer.

Grateful to have had that experience.

RIP

Anyone else fed up with generating a policy and then having to figure out a way to embed it in your app?
