Looks great, doesn't work

by

The landing page looks like exactly what I was looking for. But once I signed up, it doesn't work.

  • Can't select the branch you want

  • Shows 54 md files, click on it, it says "No markdown files found"

  • Markdown editor doesn't actually have frontmatter support

Would love to see this working.

Hmm I'll look into this! So you were trying to edit markdown files?
Thank you!

 Looks like you've got things fixed, thank you! I've now got some more feedback if interested:

  • Switching branches, then doing a rescan switches back to the default branch.

  • The markdown editor does a file-content request for every file before showing anything. Ideally those would be loaded lazily.

  • If there are many frontmatter fields, the vertical split leaves little room for content editing. A horizontal split like your homepage shows would be better.

  • I added localization files to my repo (src/locales/home/[en|fr].json) but a rescan doesn't detect them.

 Another thing, SkyBlobs currently requests "Full control of private repositories" from GitHub. Unfortunately that's far too broad access, so for now I've revoked access. If you can offer more fine grained permissions I'd love to keep using this.

 Thank you! You are totally right in all these, I'll take a look soon. Will write when I got it solved. The access thing is top priority

 Just wondering if you have an update on when those changes would be available?

 Hey! Following up one last time. I've scoured the internet, but nothing fits what I'm looking for as perfectly as SkyBlobs! I think you've got a great product here. I just can't use it with the current Github access issue.

Would you be willing to open source this so I could contribute? Or even as a private contributor? Would love to see this succeed.
