Mbin https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin
Pro for me: the ui is a bit more intuitive
I guess I missed it. Why there was a need to fork kbin? Are there issues with it?
The Kbin developer wants to focus his work on deeper technical challenges, while the Mbin developers want development to be more fast-paced with greater community involvement. Both takes are valid, but difficult to combine in one development effort.
After I posted it, I found another discussion where it looks like mbin policy is that anyone can merge anyone else's PR.
As a software developer, that actually sounds really scary.
how does it?
A big advantage of more community involvement; more will get done in a shorter time
In the end it won't matter for the end user, as both projects can choose to incorporate features from the other due to the open-source nature
So the question is, do you want it working now (Mbin) or do you want it working somewhere in the future (Kbin)
Mbin is very promising!
