Canceled my subscription for #GitKraken and uninstalled it due poor software design decisions which made app not ready to #CloudFlare outage - during it GitKraken desktop GIT client unable to connect to a git service I use (not affected by ClownFlare issues).
I guess the problem was caused by the fact that the GitKraken is not a local-first application that was heavily dependent on API calls to a CloudFlare-affected backend.

Spent 2 hours on looking for better Git UI/UX options as many sites shown in Kagi search results gone dark due that #CloudFlare outage.
This whole situation is another example of how it is important for software to be local-first and if network function is unavoidable, it is important to keep it either available within LAN, or with an option to quickly spin an alternative instance (decentralized, federated?) or to make network part #p2p and use as less bigtech services/companies as possible. 2/2
