As a 15YoE Rails dev, I've had to work many times with I18n, and found it was often a hassle. Working on many features at the same time meant countless conflicts, and excel files filled with translations.<p>I've used tools like phraseapp and lokalise, they work well but are overpriced for SMB IMO.<p>In a recent gig, I had a tight budget and minimal needs (just needed branching support and a way for product people to suggest translations to the tech team without getting in the way)<p>So I built my own and it worked really well, I've since quit the company and they are still using it.<p>I decided to share it publicly and freely to see if it could gain any traction. If it does, I plan to keep a generous freemium plan and then charge fairly.
