This seems interesting for day-to-day operations, as a replacement for Tower or SourceTree! However an app I've found really helps with arcane Git incantations (anything that rewrites history) is GitUp for macOS. I've always found it underappreciated.
I'd guess better performance, more responsiveness, less wasted resources (RAM, disk space, etc) and longer battery life and less fan noise for laptops.
I switched to Fork a few months ago from GitKraken. Fork is faster and it's using much less memory, it's nice to see developers who still care about usability and performance rather than about development speed.
I switched to Fork from SourceTree because it has tabbed interface. My desktop is no longer cluttered with windows! It's been great. One question: How can I commit and push at the same time?
Seems like a mistake to me. Charge a small fee ($5-10) for "beta testers" (aka everyone now) limited to 2000 users. If you don't sell anything - fine. But if you do, it'll encourage and enable you to continue developing and may even generate more interest/publicity (FOMO).
No, the 2000 limit is just for the "beta price" with that assumption that the future price would be more (I'd assume $15-30)
It accomplishes a few things - measures interest, give people that value the product a way to thank the creator, and adds a FOMO factor which can be good for publicity, if he wants it.
When Google Reader shutdown, Feedly offered 5000 lifetime subscriptions for ~$100 (vs $65/year). They sold out in 8 hours. It's not the same case, I understand - but the idea is similar.
