GingerMidas commented on My website is ugly because I made it   goodinternetmagazine.com/... · Posted by u/surprisetalk

Yeah presumably because the ugly site has an awful background and poor font/colour choices that make it kind of hard to read. E.g.

https://taylor.town/wealth-000

I made my website myself too and it isn't ugly. This guy's website is ugly because he decided to make it ugly out of some misguided sense of self-importance.

Self-important - sure, the author says as much themselves.

But how is it misguided? OP is having fun on their personal site. Where would you guide them instead?

> it's likely

Says who? A random commenter on the thread who's not even the submitter of the code?

GingerMidas · a year ago
Okay let's charitably assume this PR for an Audit feature is completely unrelated to the Enterprise Audit feature introduced several months later.

The reviewers of the OSS code are still heavily incentivized to block this PR. Worse, if they knew a similar feature was being built for enterprise and this would never be merged into the free version, they be wasting months of contributors' time and effort.

Seems like just some people wanting to merge stuff ASAP and others having other priorities/IRL stuff and some commenters shilling our unfounded conspiracy theories.

Yes, the 3k+ LOC, 144 file PR is 1 year old and still not merged. Join the club.

GingerMidas · a year ago
You're missing the point, if this was just an unmerged PR no one would care.

But it's likely the paid Enterprise edition has merged this already, and now the same entity has an incentive to block this from the OSS version.

The title is sensationalized. I read the whole thread. Gitea doesn't seem to be "blocking" the PR. They aren't preventing it from going in a release. However, they did pull the in-progress PR into their private repo early, presumably in order to make more money. Not great, but not bad faith.

"Blocking" would suggest to me that the PR is rejected but still ends up in the closed-source codebase, which isn't the case at all.

@dang I flagged this because we're at risk of brigading a community over a nothingburger.

GingerMidas · a year ago
Hypothetically, if they never finish reviewing the PR, isn't that the same as "blocking"? Ghosting is still considered a rejection and arguably a much worse one.

StreetComplete is outstanding app, and an iOS port will bring more contributors to places like the US. So happy to see this.

Not as of now, Tags are used only for recurring transactions as of now. I first need to figure out how to bring the filter into the UI. Everything now works based on Account names only.

Makes sense - great work so far! This is easily the best looking PTA app I've seen.

Slightly off topic but how do people use these? Depending on where/what I pay, I pay with an assortment of credit cards, bank account, debit cards, paypal, etc.

Do people who use this kind of software manually enter every transaction they do every day, or something?

Yes, exactly that. You can do automatic imports of your bank statements but that's arguably more hassle.

It takes 10 minutes at the end of my day to record all my transactions and it gives me a complete understanding of where my money is going.

Awesome! I've been using Beancount/Fava for over 2 years now and this looks really slick.

One thing off the bat I noticed, it doesn't look like custom Tags are supported? I use tags all the time in beancount, say to filter for a trip #trip-europe-2022 which would break down my cash flow and balances (and the rest of the fava UI) for a subset of transactions.
