Reinventing issue tracking: Local-first and Git-native
A developer building Manganin, a Git-native issue tracker, walks through the design iterations behind storing issue data without relying on a database like Postgres. Early attempts included storing issues as files alongside code (broken by rebasing churn) and using Git's special refs to store issue objects directly in the object database (too complex, with fragile ID schemes and race conditions). The final approach uses a separate, hidden sister Git repo per project to store issues as plain files, using filenames as titles and file contents as bodies, letting the filesystem guarantee unique identifiers and standard tools like FZF browse issues.
