It was mentioned on the JJ Discord server that there doesn't seem to be any information available about who you are. Especially since the project seems to be closed-source, perhaps you could share some information about who you are in order to build trust.
I hope you understand. I think users may hesitate to download and install the application without knowing anything about its publisher.
Totally understandable! I'm a solo dev out of LA who's mostly consulted on various apps and sites over the years, and out of my own personal need I began working on the project earlier this year.
The project is indeed closed-source. Personally I've had experiences where I found the project moved forward towards the roadmap much faster - specifically when considering smaller-scale projects that are UI heavy and therefore take in many UI changes in parallel - when I instead implemented feature requests and focused most of my energy on listening to user feedback rather than reviewing code. UI polish can be quite tricky when it comes from many sources :)
That said, nothing is set in stone! If at some point there are enough feature requests to where I am the bottleneck, this is something I would revisit.
You can make the code open source without accepting pull requests or contributions from other people. You might still get pull requests or patches, but you can set expectations up front and then ignore/auto-close any contributions you get.
More power to you! I bought Sublime Merge. I'd consider buying yours once it has a little more history. I've been using gg and really miss a side-by-side diff view. Maybe that makes less sense with jj though
That's their choice, don't try to pressure them to self-dox. What is wrong with you / the "JJ Discord server"? Please identify yourself and everyone there so I can be sure to up my paranoia around each of you.
I think you misunderstood. I didn't ask for their name. Luckily the author didn't seem to misunderstand.
As for information about me, you can search the internet for my username. Let me know if you don't find anything and I can try to help. I'm not going to share information about others on the Discord server.
It's difficult to go back to a separate VCS app after using IDE git support (specifically VSCode & the 'git graph' extension which is sadly permanently abandoned).
Nitpick: "judo" and "jujutsu" are already heavily used terms. Googling around for information about this, at least for me, is pretty difficult. Judo is an international olympic sport, jujutsu is one of the most famous traditional japanese martial arts, jiu jitsu is the most popular submission base for MMA...
I'd love a rebrand or rename in order to avoid having to work around the name collision.
Thanks for working on this project!

I'd be happy to hop on the Discord as well!

This is how SQLite is developed, for example.

Since no one has asked. What is the tech stack?
From the Discord:
> It's a compose multiplatform[1] app, and it's templated-output-parsed rather than Rust-based.
[1]: https://www.jetbrains.com/compose-multiplatform/
I haven't managed to try this because the "select repo" does nothing on Ubuntu 24.04. It doesn't seem I can actually perform any action at all.
This looks great! Excited to try out out and play with it!
I wish this was open source. Even if you kept comments etc disabled.
Or if you shipped the source code alongside the binary. Or just had a zip of the source.
Awesome would love to follow this journey
This is so cool. Man I need to find another line of work there are too many cracked devs out there

I think there’s a JJ vscode plugin
VS Code now has an OKish git graph built-in, in case you didn't know. This feature is a few months old.
give "git lens" a try.
I'm confused -- what would you be going back from, given your preferred VSCode extension is abandoned?

Best of luck!
"JudoJJ" is quite distinct and searchable imo
