gitlab doesn't have the same appeal to me for browsing projects... at least not on the surface. the amazing thing about github is that you can go to github.com

the amazing thing about github is that you can go to github.com without signing up and search a multitude of projects and their forks. that's awesome. it's a level playing field.
- wldcordeiro 11y agoIs this not available to view signed out? https://gitlab.com/explore https://gitlab.com/explore if not I think that's something Gitlab should make visible to anyone. But the problem here isn't that Gitlab lacks this it's that no one is using it to make the explore page interesting.
- sytse 11y agohttps://gitlab.com/explore https://gitlab.com/explore should be viewable when you're signed out. There are not many projects there yet, but when I just looked I saw that iterm2 moved their issues to GitLab.com https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2 https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2 Projects fully on GitLab.com include F-droid and Mailman.
- wldcordeiro 11y agoTested it in private browsing mode and can confirm. The problem then is just the number of high profile projects on Github vs Gitlab.
- r0muald 11y agoThe "problem" would be the number of high profile projects on GitHub.com vs GitLab.com - a subtle but important difference, I think.
- x0 11y agoYeah, I can see it and I don't have a Gitlab account.
