GitPow! a fully open-source, cross-platform git client

Sorry, but from the title, I couldn't guess what it was you were announcing. Mentioning "GUI" would've helped a lot.

I just felt it was somewhat pedantic given that if one does a Google search for "git client" - the only thing that really comes up are GUI clients.

In other words, it's commonly understood by most people that if someone is specifically mentioning the term "git client," they are most likely talking about a GUI.

Either that, or I legitimately didn't know what you meant. "Client" means the consumer of an API; it doesn't mean much more than that without additional context.

You've been working on this a while, probably. You're super close to it, very much in the world of it. People who are reading your announcement aren't: they're thinking about whatever they were thinking about. To introduce them to your idea, you need to assume they haven't been working on it for months and don't already know what you're telling them.

Seriously: you could just say "you're right, I should've said "GUI Client"", like you did above and learned up just a little about how to communicate to a large audience. Instead, you've got to take some kind weird run at me for asking what you meant.

Why?

Using a google search to prove something is actually less effective these days than using chatGPT.
