I would recommend just linking to a few sentences that say how Oak is different than Git, rather than a personal backstory. (https://oak.space/docs)

My initial reaction is if this is not something than could be built on top of Git, rather than replacing it. Describe the data model - what is a "commit", what is a "branch" ..., if the same as git, then why not reuse.

Since many commenters had a variant of this response, I've turned the post into a Show HN above (more at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48633408).

(The submitted title was "Git is forever. I'm building Oak anyways." and the submitted URL was https://oak.space/blog.)

Awesome, thanks! You could also change it to the homepage if you'd think that would work better for people. https://oak.space

Ah thanks - I forgot to change the top link. In this case I think https://oak.space/oak/oak is probably more enticing to the community because they get to see what it actually looks like - so I've used that URL instead.

Sick, looks great!
