I would love if it was more viable to choose between ads and payment. I don't know how much my current Web habits would end up costing. But if it was a lot, I could stand to cut down on my Web surfing. There are after all other worthwhile things to do.

Here's the dream; do a refactoring and submit patches for code review. The reviewers first ask "does this (unintentionally) change the behavior of the code?" They look at the semantic patch/run a semantic diff and see that it gives no output. So then they know that it is truly a refactoring and can review it as such without having to bother with any regression testing or anything like that.

Also, I want to have an option/convention to say that "this commit is best viewed with line-based diff/word-based diff, AST diff, semantic diff, ...".

I think you've described better than me why one might overlook certain things. I was far from clear on that when I originally wrote my post.

I'm presuming you've researched tiling window managers as part of your work on this?

I'm sorry.

I don't think the fact that GitLab is free for basic users is very discoverable from the site. You've got the "features" tab, which leads to what seems to be the option of downloading a community edition, which makes it look like GitLab is only offering the code itself but not hosting from their, and the enterprise edition for some licensing fee (I suppose). Then you've got "sign in", but no "sign up", which leads me to ask "but then how do I sign up", which most naturally (for me) leads me to the "pricing" tab. Now this page only shows "trial" and the different priced tiers.

But if I press "sign in", I am able to sign up, with no notice about it being just a limited (45 day) trial. So so far I'm assuming that this is a perpetually free account, though I'm not completely sure yet...

A better way would be if you had 20+ categories of data that are totally unrelated, like; your tax-stuff, your code, your diary from 1995-2010, ... Since these are very unrelated, you are not likely to need every one of at the same time, ASAP.

Though it's hard for me to imagine having so many categories of unrelated, useful and important data.
