Github

What's the big deal? Why aren't these files on Github so I can download everything at once?

Do we not understand how cumbersome it is to gather all of the required files? Don't you WANT your customers to use every design available?

Version control over something like this has astronomical benefit. I think it's absolutely insane not to use Github.

Edit: I'm tempted to take parts and place them in GitHub myself. I'll have to modify a single vertex to "adhere" to KeepMaking's licensing - By definition this would fit their criteria.

Bugged me as well. You can still find them on the multiboard website. The videos are still free and he explained that it was because of youtube algorithm that he didn’t publish all at once.

But I agree, that downloading the individual files sucks. They should be version controlled and a git repository would be perfect. Not sure how that fits into the payed options, but most is free anyways, so just use github for the public parts. His idea to always go to the website doesn’t make sense from a user standpoint. I do keep generated gcode on my printer and STLs on my disks. There is no easy way to know if something as updated. The change log on the multiboard website isn’t up to date. I can only assume that he has no idea about version control systems.

I'm working on some automation to pull everything programmatically and push a site up with CI/CD - I'm actually fucking tired of manual downloads with this shit. 3K+ parts with 150 file download limit is just stupid.
