Does this have some relation to Sourceforge? The UI is a direct copy: https://sourceforge.net/p/smplayer/code/HEAD/tree/ https://sourceforge.net/p/smplayer/code/HEAD/tree/ https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/git/ci/master/tree/ https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/git/ci/master/tree/ I'm also curious why this is such a thing in various code/project hosting applications. GOGS was cloning GitHub's UI (down to the level of copying their CSS) for a long time and still retains a lot of similarities. Is it that hard to come up with a novel UX for code browsing and project management?

Yes. This is the sourceforge platform...there are some older talks (pre-apache adoption) from sf people about it.

Yes. SourceForge developed Allura [1] starting in around 2009 [2], and was accepted to the Apache Incubator in 2012. Meanwhile, the preceding SourceForge software was a fork of a community project that was in itself a fork of their oldest platform, apparently [3].
