NEW from GitHub

Yesterday, GitHub gave free users the ability to create unlimited private repositories.

Before the announcement, GitHub limited private repositories to paying users, but unlimited private repos were reportedly the top-requested feature from the community.

The news also marks GitHub’s first change since Microsoft bought the company last October. 👀

While this might seem like a small change, this and their recent acquisition of Spectrum illustrates a shift in GitHub’s strategy, optimizing for user growth and engagement over revenue. Prediction: GitHub will acquire another developer focused startup within 2019.

“We often think of coding as a solitary activity, but in fact it’s the world’s largest team sport. All the software we write builds on the work of others, and our job at GitHub is to make that easier for everyone.” - GitHub CEO Nat Friedman

The Fastest Email, Now with AI

Full disclaimer: Superhuman is the email client most of us here at Product Hunt use (bar a few stragglers, we see you) It is fast in the way that actually matters. AI writes replies, summarizes threads, and triages the inbox instantly, so email stops eating the good part of the day. Email, calendar, and AI all work as one system, which means less bouncing around and less time piecing context back together. For high-performance teams, that speed adds up quickly. Superhuman Mail is built to help people move faster every day, not just feel slightly more organized.
