Do you use Lttrs daily? I'm wondering if it works in practice (even when using non-standard setup) or if it's just a proof-of-concept (that'd mean it may take some time to mature).
> Obviously, I'm a bit biased, as I run a project for creating transparent open source infrastructure. But I do think this is a important issue, and I'm getting more and more scared GitHub is out to make open source development more ivory tower-like.
This point is brought many times. Why use GitHub if we can host git repositories anywhere? (A: GitHub providers discovery). Why use GitHub PRs if we have mailing lists? (A: GitHub has better UX).
The same is with their Sponsors program, registering billing method and clicking on a button is all that's needed. No separate sites with different UI.
For the record I'm also not happy with the centralized structure of it (it reminds me of early Google), but I get why it's getting popular.
