It should be clarified that late stage capitalism critique and antifa do not have any ideological or associational overlap. The former is theory limited to effects of economic relations, while the latter is a reactionary-by-nature political call to action. I realize this is not obvious in the names.
Fears from raised awareness of late stage capitalism would not by any sound logic even motivate assiciation with something like Antifa. It would more likely inform and divert one’s alignment with something like that.
In my view, one would have to be willfully ignorant to deny the first, and willfully ignorant to align with the latter. In my view, this is a pretty good example of why censoring these conversations is a terrible solution. It can only serve to limit our ability to have nuanced understandings about the world we live in.
Granted I am a novice, but have been in film post production and vfx for a long time. I'm not very familiar with any GUIs thay truly reflect proprietary commands.
Nonetheless, I agree. And if you find it, please share.
I was sorta hoping someone would offer their take on contributing or creating projects like this for their portfolio. I would be a little self-conscious of having a bunch of 'simplifier' tools in my small portfolio. Is this silly for me to even be thinking?

Point taken! Thanks for the response. While I do have a hard time imagining me recommending this project to anyone (without instead opting for real git commands or gui) your comment encourages me to at least try imagining a future where this project gets surprising widespread adoption and something many maintain and depend on. Like you suggest, it could cut a lot of entry costs if it doesn't double them. ;)
This does help me a lot to get this response. I personally actually love downloading and testing small tools and sometimes worry my search for better tools or the promise of better tools is a distraction. But, maybe this willingness to continue the search is just highly correlated with my fascination and interest in becoming a programmer.
I am new to programming (less than 1 year) and the insignificance of this project is obvious to me. This looks very well done, but my understanding is that a user friendly wrapper for such a ubiquitous programming tech with already widespread GUIs and pluins is comparable to reinventing a wheel. It's a little frustrating how many projects like this appear to get so much attention and end up on HN, because it makes for a disorienting maze of distractions for newer programmers. I love all the productivity, excitement, possibility but it's still peculiar and debatably problematic.
My best guess is this was a personal project that solved some person(s) problems, and for some reason related to networking or self-promotion, it got the decoration of a full release treatment. What else could cause this?
I know there are zillions of these every day but this seems like one we all can see through. Can anyone share some insight here?
Should I be contributing to the heap of projects like these to further my own career?
