Ask HN: Interface like Google forms with Git back end?

1 pointsby kleebeeshabout 4 years ago
As we move more towards gitops, I see a lot of processes that could benefit from a simple UI.<p>Example: modifying user permissions in a kubernetes cluster:<p>1. User requests permission to a specific namespace by modifying a yaml file and making a PR.<p>2. Cluster admins review and merge the PR.<p>3. Cluster admins apply the change.<p>The paper trail of requests and reviews is a great benefit of using Git for this type of process. However it&#x27;s inaccessible to users with minimal knowledge of Git.<p>It seems like it wouldn&#x27;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.<p>Does such a thing like this exist?
