Why SQLite Does Not Use Git
Some time back, some GUI design firm asked on HN for a suggested open source program that needed a GUI developed. They had some developer time free and wanted something that would get them visibility. I suggested they do a GUI for Git. Several such things exists, but they're just buttons hooked up to the command line; they have no useful visual outputs.  A good GUI for Git, where you could look at branches and such graphically, would get attention.<p>Too hard, they said. They wanted something which just needed to be pretty, not something with tough human interface problems.
