Thanks, and apologies it if came across overly critical.

I just think things like this can be impactful to perceptions of the work done on efforts such as Git-LFS, and describing things based on their own merits is often a better approach than pointing out lack elsewhere.

A VCS UI for design is something I've been looking for for a LONG time, so I signed up to the SnowTrack public beta immediately. I was just a little confused/concerned to learn it won't have a widely-supported backend to ease things such as synchronisation across devices, sharing resources via a hosted service, etc. Curious to see how this gets handled in the final product.

I really appreciate your critical view on the project, because it makes me reflect my own stand and arguments and to see if they are correct or wrong. E.g. I just removed the "without LFS" argument because you are right, this is not a sustainable argument and I will address a few more soon to clear things up.

I learned a lot during the development of SnowFS and the open-source-community is the best place to share my experiences, that's why I put it on GitHub. At the end, I would be super happy if these insights can make it over to Git and Git-LFS.
