I’m periodically re-trying GitHub’s GUI client, just in case it becomes stable enough for anyone to use on a real project.<\/p>\n
Today, with the latest version: every time I start the app, it immediately hard-crashes. The app is literally unusable – it won’t run at all.<\/p>\n
At least with the previous versions it would actually start up, so … this is a pretty big step backwards. If it had decent error reporting, like most apps do, I might be able to work out what’s wrong, but of course that’s one of the original problems with GitHub’s app – it disables all error reporting.<\/p>\n
(as an aside: it’s interesting that Apple’s Mac App Store has made it so rare to see an app crash that … I can’t even be bothered to try and fix this app or complain about it. For an app to crash on startup is so VERY far behind the current “normal” for apps that … it’s just not worth the effort. I think the Mac App Store is one of the worst things to happen to computing in the last 20 years [if the US govt allows Apple and Microsoft to continue in this way, computers will become a thing of the past], but I have to admit it is achieving some great things)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
