How we lost 54k GitHub stars – HTTPie blog

What we learned from losing a decade of stargazers and watchers, the biggest accidental community loss in open source history.

Few days ago, I made my repo "jd-shopper" private, and I lost 1.7k stars. GitHub customer told me there is no-way to recover the stars. This has discouraged me from working on open source projects in recent weeks🤣 Sad story...😂

Replying to @jsparanoguy @GitHubDesktop and @github

A developer mistakenly made the GitHub Desktop repo private this morning. Flipping it back doesn’t restore stars (and a few other things), so we are restoring from DB backup. That's all.

⚠️ Please note that we accidentally made our repo private for a sec and

@GitHub

deleted all our watchers and stargazers. Since they won’t restore it from backup for us, there’s no GitHub notification going to downstream maintainers about this security fix.

Dedicated settings tab, option to automatically follow redirects, speed-ups, HTTPie for Terminal 3.0.2, and more.

The big one for me is

. Its the most convenient http client on CLI that I have used. Especially for JSON. Now they even support nested json. 🎉 2/

HTTPie – API testing client that flows with you

Making APIs simple and intuitive for those building the tools of our time.

Missed it but apparently

is going to release a web and desktop app? Easy buy for me, it's a favorite CLI tool of mine

Web & Desktop App – HTTPie

All the user-friendliness of our Terminal version, now wrapped up in a sleek graphical interface.

Dear Electron apps, it’s ’22—consider switching from pointer cursors for non-link UI elements to arrows with subtle hovers. It may feel alien at 1st but your users will never look back & your web version will profit too

Prettify JSON, custom macOS window, refined cursors, extra collection icons, and HTTPie for Terminal 3.0

Can't believe I ended up writing an 'interpreter' for supporting nested JSON. Perhaps I can even add a JIT overlay 😅 (joking)
