hannes_paul··on Ask HN: Would more apps build with Git back-end if there’d be a solid SDK?
Oh I see how that was unclear. I don't mean using git as a database for user requests, but git as a back-end for collaborative applications. For example, in our case, translators and devs have to collaborate to achieve localization. Normally translators would work in some isolated cloud application and then data pipelines between said application and the git repo are built. But why doesn't the translator facing app just build directly on git? Then editing the translation strings would happen on the git repo and there would be no synching between two sources of truth (git-repo and cloud solution)

Do you mean that overleaf uses git itself to enable real time collaboration or are you referring to the Git-Bridge and GitHub Synchronization features?

What do you mean with showing you the diff BEFORE you merge? Do you run a script comparing your current repository translation files with the ones on the google spreadsheet?

Hi, this is super cool, congrats! I went through your documentation and it looks like your contributors have to manually edit files. My friend and I are currently working on an open source git-based translation editor and dev tools to ease contributing and managing translations.
