On: GitHub is experimenting with personal READMEs

[soulclap]

I remember when GitHub used to have private messaging. I liked that feature. It was an easy and unified way to get in touch with other coders on there and felt less intrusive than sending them e-mails out of the blue (or opening issues for the sake of communication, as some do).

There have been times I've wanted to reach out to someone about their open source repository or a question and I've always wondered why there wasn't a messaging feature. Interesting to learn it used to be there.

Same, but then I realized every commit contains the persons email, so I just email people.
