I feel like we've all lost our collective minds thinking that monorepos are good 😭
I am feeling nothing but pain every time I need to deal with one and whenever I come across an open source project that has a bunch of unrelated stuff in a monorepo it's just impossible to follow issues/releases/pull requests
Can I please make a request to all developers:
Whenever you think of implementing a viewer for any file type inside your app, just don't! The experience is invariably going to be worse in some way and you totally break the concept of navigation 😭
Just let the user download the thing and view it as it was meant to be viewed.
I've just updated my release-plan init script to handle unlabelled PRs a LOT better 🎉
If you have already set it up, you can run `npm init release-plan-setup@latest` again to update to the latest and greatest!
If you haven't set it up then you should! It's the best way to release anything to npm. Check it out:
This thread/blog is a great read: @polotek@social.polotek.net@mastodon.social
These same sentiments are why I'm so bullish on EmberJS. We bring people along with us as much as we can and try to move our abstractions back into the platform wherever possible.
I'm biased sure, but if you have decided to rewrite your app off Ember I think you've made a really costly mistake.
