Ha, sorry! The fact we can't share individual windows. Co-screen was perfect for us.

Hell yes, thankyou for this! Our team literally been moaning for weeks every time we use Tuple (and Pop! and huddles, and every other tool we tried) that it wasn’t co-screen!

> Why have we not seen an improvements in products?

Huh? I'm seeing improvements in products _everywhere_. E.g. Linear. My team has been a heavy user of Linear for years. They have shipped a huge amount of things in the last 6 months, and the gaps between major changes is dropping.

It is twice as useful for our team as it was last year.

I'm genuinely impressed.

If you like building keyboards, you’ll end up using a couple of these.

I have 6!

As someone who partially uses depot but was still affected by this github issue, we obviously haven't moved over enough. We use your runners but github is still blocking us.

Hope you don't mind the public ask, it seems useful for others.

If we're using depot runners, and want to use them directly, or move off of github actions being the controller for when things run: what do you suggest?

Trigger the workflows directly on depot via CLI?

Ugh, same. 30 mins with 2 devs trying to figure it out before they posted an update.

Sardonic but not useful.

1 ticket: you can only sell back, no name change. You’re solo, not going with anyone, this works.

2 tickets: you can either sell them both back, OR change ONLY one name once. This means you have the option of buying two tickets up front, before you lock-in your companion.

It works well, I’ve experienced this for festival tickets.

Same, our team has been on it for a year and it's very good.

I wouldn't say "buying software that saves us time" is gambling, but you do you.

It’s not 17m for an idea to improve git.

It’s 17m for a tool which hopes to serve companies and charge money and make more than 17m in profit as a result.

If you look at the set of dev tooling, teams will frequently pay many hundreds per dev on things like CI, Git tools, code review, etc.

And to be fair, GitHub is really quite bad for a lot of workflows. I haven’t used gitbutler, but my team pays ~$30 a month per dev for tools which literally just provide a nicer interface for stacking PRs, because it saves us WAY more than that in time.

This isn’t even an egregious example of VC, it’s just an enterprise dev tooling bet.
