I'm a little surprised to read that Ghost doesn't use gitlab. Given the companies are both open source and distributed work forces; not to mention they call out github as a big headache.

- andrewvc 8y agoThe problems listed were with the interaction model. There's nothing I've seen in GitLab's UX that would indicate it's any better.
- relaunched 8y agoUnfortunately I think Github itself has a lot to do with this. The product has become too transactional - more support tool than collaboration. And Github themselves show remarkable disinterest in the open source community as a whole - they give us beta access to test new features every so often. That's about it. There's no wider involvement at all. I read it as two parts. Interactions are flawed & Github doesn't really care about open source. Just one guys opinion, and my wife works for gitlab, but there is a deep commitment to open source and contributors, as well as an abundance of places for deeper dialogues to occur, between projects / contributors / the general public / gitlab. +1 for also living in Minneapolis. We should get coffee.
- bovermyer 8y agoHuh, I also live in Minneapolis. How many HNers are around here?
- relaunched 8y agoThere are a few. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? A meetup?
