The website doesn't tell me what it does or why it's better. It just wants me to sign-up and provide a bunch of permissions without first selling itself to me.

The landing page should clearly communicate what this does and contrast it with GitHub to make it obvious how it's better.

I guess the little embedded video might show some of this but it's not very clear. I just see someone faffing about and scrolling up and down randomly.



Yeah…and I don’t burn my time watching videos unless it’s teaching me to fix an appliance, or do small home repairs…videos are for tricky in person stuff, screenshots and text are for apps.

Yes, and including admin access to all your orgs :)


As the help text explains, you can tap to select or unselect any permissions beyond the basics. (Which are admittedly still quite broad.)

You can also use a PAT but that's already too much friction for me for something like this.


Justification of malfeasance is not an excuse.


But it's okay because

indeed. make a loom showing us why is better.
