I said this in another comment recently about git, but I find it odd that even after a decade of using git as a mandatory part of my professional life, I'm still learning new things.

That's maybe not a good sign about the usability of git.

That `@{'3 days ago'}` thing? That's incredible. Why didn't I know about that 8 years ago? Why wasn't it obvious, intuitive to me that this was possible?

git is brilliant and I love it. But there are very few affordances that make it obvious what to do next, what is possible. There's few patterns in it where I can apply what I already know.

The thing that replaces git will have most of the power of git, but an intuitive interface that makes learning everything about it easy.

Sukhbir Singh just commented: Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions. I just wanted to share that we have identified the app and will update this task tomorrow. (And yes, it is a mobile app.)

Only tangentially related, but are there any projects out there that modify CD or DVD readers to make it possible to read the raw (analog) pits and lands from the disc? When I was rescuing the last batch of burned CDs from my teen years a few years ago I unsurprisingly had some with lots of read errors. Googling around only lead me to forum threads where people recommended certain drives that would be very good at error recovery, but I thought it might be even better if you could get the raw stream from the disc and then do all the EFM reversal etc in software with more advanced analysis, brute forcing etc. But nothing of this kind seemed to exist.
