Git as a backend is an easy way to build collaborative apps

  • This internal demo might be of interest to the HN crowd.

    We are building a git-like change control system called lix that can store different file formats.

    Why?

    - file-based software is amazing because of interop and data ownership

    - storing a file in change control makes a file collaborative, eliminating the need for "the cloud"

    - we can solve globalization of software with an interoperable system of apps
