I think the detail expansion shown is a great illustration of another thing they tend to do - uncanny valley of 'sky is blue' type product descriptive copy that reminds me of dribbble shots or landing page template demos from a few years ago. Technically correct language that doesn't communicate much emotionally.

I'm a bit anxious about putting myself out there, but I'd be curious if my efforts cross that bar for you or not? https://ouijit.com/ (and the repo is at https://github.com/ouijit/ouijit)

I wouldn't be surprised if it has progressed to fake contributors/discussions/issues/forks as well. Seems like an inevitable outcome for any platform with social signals.

Have mainly been hesitant because it hasn't been promoted from an internal ghostty dependency (only awareness of the place was from this article by the creator[1]), but from the sounds of it here people are finding it stable enough. Gonna give it a whirl today.
