Seeking #developer #advice ❤️ 🤔
We want to create a webby GUI app for accessing federated forge network, a bit like Element is to Matrix 🖥️
Been considering to write from scratch using Tauri, Tailwind, didn't pick a language :git:
Now considering to fork #GitHub Desktop instead! Replace GitHub API with ForgeFed and tweak the UI etc. :github:
https://github.com/desktop/desktop
It's an existing codebase with over 33k commits
Is it a good idea to fork? Thoughts/concerns/advice? And boost 🙏

@forgefed my opinion is that it's not. Every time I tried porting an existing UI from an API to another, I failed. You can try, but I'm 90% sure it will be a dud.
