Can you provide a few examples of apps you have in mind?

Are you indicating a service would fetch files from git based on user requests?

hannes_paul · 3 years ago

Oh I see how that was unclear. I don't mean using git as a database for user requests, but git as a back-end for collaborative applications. For example, in our case, translators and devs have to collaborate to achieve localization. Normally translators would work in some isolated cloud application and then data pipelines between said application and the git repo are built. But why doesn't the translator facing app just build directly on git? Then editing the translation strings would happen on the git repo and there would be no synching between two sources of truth (git-repo and cloud solution)

overleaf uses git as a data store for collaborative editing.

hannes_paul · 3 years ago

Do you mean that overleaf uses git itself to enable real time collaboration or are you referring to the Git-Bridge and GitHub Synchronization features?

Isn't it "i18n"?

We put all the translations in a spreadsheet, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FoYdyEraEQuWofzbYCDP.... We didn't like the idea of storing in any more complex than a csv file.

All changes are shown to us in a diff before we merge, the csv is then downloaded and the i18n files created automatically after we merge the branch.

We've never had a single instance of abuse in over 10 years.

hannes_paul · 3 years ago

What do you mean with showing you the diff BEFORE you merge? Do you run a script comparing your current repository translation files with the ones on the google spreadsheet?

Hi HN,

Our project is Logto, an open-source solution that helps you build the sign-in, auth, and user identity within minutes.

The first public beta launched two months ago, and it is incredible that many people love our project and are willing to contribute even before our “Bounty Hunter” series. The community contributed translations of Français, Türkçe, 한국어, and Português, along with connectors for Azure AD, Kakao, Naver, and Discord.

We cannot be here without the community’s help, and we’d like to hear more from you. Feel free to let us know if Logto can help you or what you expect from Logto. Cheers!

Hi, this is super cool, congrats! I went through your documentation and it looks like your contributors have to manually edit files. My friend and I are currently working on an open source git-based translation editor and dev tools to ease contributing and managing translations. Check out our repo and let me know what you think! https://github.com/inlang/inlang
