Skeptical at first as well coming from the good ol curl/grep/sed backend scraping world, I changed my mind considering authentication issues and instructions saving: no more need to try and auth on complex websites via phantom without knowing what actually happens, I can just log in and see in my browser what I actually wanna scrape and still rerun it later as a script.
And I just loooove listening to artoo beep over and over ;)
@sytse Thanks! One of the display challenges for the git repositories was to display actual dates of the commits instead of the pushes since these commits have to be "simulated in the past" and gitlab was the perfect tool to do that.
We hope to be able one day to consider each voted amendment as an individual commit as we did in a previous prototype <https://gitorious.org/law-is-code/demo_bill_hopital/commits/... but it happens to be a lot more complex than anticipated because diffs between two texts are in fact more than just what the voted amendments propose because of "legistic" modifications at each step. Maybe with another release ;)
And worse of all it doesn't let you set one in most countries because it doesn't handle your carriers....
This is just totally insane for so many reasons...
