Ask @holman anything!
A GitHub repository used as a public Q&A inbox — people file issues with questions, Zach Holman answers them, then closes the issue. That's the whole thing. It's a social artifact from the early 2010s GitHub culture era, not a software project.
The format is genuinely clever: issues as a threaded, searchable, public FAQ that anyone can read without needing to be the one who asked. Forking to create your own AMA is trivially easy since there's nothing to configure. The closed-issues browse pattern actually works well as an archive.
Last activity was 2021 and the repo predates it by years — this is effectively a historical artifact, not an active resource. There's no software here; you're starring a README and an issue template. The AMA-as-GitHub-issues pattern never really caught on broadly, and most people who tried it abandoned theirs within months. 270 forks sounds like adoption but most are dead clones.
