Tixef.com extends the line to fill the full length of the browser window. If the line is still does not fit, then it is wrapped and icon is inserted to indicate the fact. If you have an office then you probably also own a large monitor if not several of. There is really no sense of keeping fixed layouts nowadays in a product targeted towards professionals.

(unsolicited opinion)

I'd be more interested in keeping my hosting on GitHub but using more sophisticated code review/workflow tools than they offer.

Have you considered targeting this use case? Their API is robust and includes sufficient access controls. I'm surprised no one is doing this yet.


To provide review tools you need the code as well as its full history. An API is not going to cut it.

However Git being the beautiful distributed system as it is, you don't have to move your hosting. In fact you can push to multiple Git remotes, or use one for backup, or just for reviews.

You can also push to multiple remotes at the same time by adding two urls for the origin. So if you like the idea of your source files residing on a particular provider then you can keep it there as well.

Heroku works in a similar way, you may store your repo elsewhere but deploys happen when you push to their remote.

The true API here is Git itself not some silly and constantly changing REST protocol over something as stable the Git Object Model.


Have you considered targeting this use case?

so in short: no. :)

(FYI, their API provides access to all the git objects and would also allow you to add additional keys so you could clone it.)


And no side scrolling! :-) I will check it out.
