I am the developer of Summit for Lemmy.
No. The latest changes by Google means all incremental work is now no longer visible to the public until a release is done. For most people and developers this shouldn’t make a difference.
As an example lets say I implemented features A, B and C and then did a release to v2. Before the changes you would see A get added, then B then C and then the release. With Google’s changes you will see nothing for a while and then all of a sudden see A, B, C and the v2 release all at once.
what? oO
It’s on my to-do but the process seems annoying potentially so we’ll see. I just wanted to open source the project so there is at least some progress. I was finding myself making long lists of shit to do before I can open source the project but you know what fk those lists and just open source it now. Ask questions later. :D
Hello I’m the developer here. The reason why the readme is completely unhelpful is simple. I wrote it for myself. It was a readme i wrote for myself on how to do certain things LOL.
Probably the best solution short term is to just like yo the website at the very top: https://summit.idunnololz.com/.
Edit: also in my defense the code repo was open sourced less than 24h ago on a whim and I’ve had a few bugs I’ve been trying to tackle all week:

In the current world when they are done with a release they have to reconcile their internal trunk (main branch) to the external trunk which is the one that everyone can see. This is because currently google do some development internally while other development is done on the public trunk. This reconciliation process can be annoying due to things like “merge conflicts” (ie. A disagreement between two versions of changes about what the final change should be). By doing all work on the internal trunk it should make this reconciliation process much simpler.
