A csv of kick off times (in UTC) and who is playing would be helpful to whomever takes this up
Now of f-droid too!
Too long a survey, and the tiny communities I mod I’ve had to take zero actions. But don’t do it! Java is a joke of a language, and Jerboa is a fantastic client
Python in excel is in git?? Better than I thought
How do the handle version control? I’m yet to actually meet it in the wild

I’ve witnessed the dilbert principle more
Those at the top are often more tech literate than I give them credit for. I suspect it is actually those armies of analysts that are holding it back

I do this for a living. I’ve spent basically my whole career (15 years full time professional at this stage) basically trying to kill excel. You can’t, or at least I can’t.
