saw this and immediately upvoted b/c i really want something a lot like this. went to github and realized i won't use it b/c it's implemented in PHP, i probably don't want exactly what this is, and i don't want to edit/debug PHP (not on my own time, anyway). is that myopic? anyway, that was my honest, off-the-cuff response to the post.

Do you refuse to use any website written in PHP? How do you manage to have a normal internet life in the year 2015?

  There's plenty of websites that don't run on PHP though? StackOverflow runs on ASP .NET, Twitter ran on Rails at one point, now it's partially a mix of things but some of it is in Scala I suppose, plenty of major sites don't run off of PHP. PHP isn't impossible to use or anything, but it's not the only solution. Everyone should use whatever they're comfortable using. Edit: So long as what they're comfortable using does the job correctly and effectively.

  no, i refuse to edit PHP for free. it's not even that i don't enjoy writing in it, i just enjoy writing in other languages much more by comparison. no problem whatsoever using websites written in PHP. very glad to be able to recommend others to wordpress in lieu of duplicating effort.

I don't use ruby, but that wouldn't prevent me from using gitlab.

  Ruby is not anywhere near the same ballpark in terms of the widespread (ir)rational disregard of running anything PHP... especially on our dear-to-heart hand-crafted linux systems... in terms of both security, maintainability, and also the general perception of poor code quality of these OSS projects. While Ruby might not be well respected among the experienced and snobbish elite programmer class, it hardly instills anything close to the negative reactions that PHP has managed to cultivate over the years.

  indeed, i don't write a lot of ruby, either, but i've given it a spin, and i like it alright. if this were written in ruby, i would be motivated to learn more ruby to edit it.
