Ask HN: Interface like Google forms with Git back end? As we move more towards gitops, I see a lot of processes that could benefit from a simple UI. Example: modifying user permissions in a kubernetes cluster: 1. User requests permission to a specific namespace by modifying a yaml file and making a PR. 2. Cluster admins review and merge the PR. 3. Cluster admins apply the change. The paper trail of requests and reviews is a great benefit of using Git for this type of process. However it's inaccessible to users with minimal knowledge of Git. It seems like it wouldn't be terribly difficult to build a generalizable UI for this type of process. Admins create some forms where inputs map to changes in specific files. When a user fills out a form, the app makes a PR. Admins can review and proceed as usual. Does such a thing like this exist? |
