The competitor is leaving the market, which hardly makes them a competitor at all. Any users who don't want to be left out in the cold need tools like this.

The competitor is leaving the market, which hardly makes them a competitor at all. Any users who don't want to be left out in the cold need tools like this.
- zaarn 7y agoThen why not make the tool open source + standalone and compatible with other alternatives like GitHub/GitLab/Gitea/Gogs/etc. so the users can pick the competitor or tool they like?
- Sir_Cmpwn 7y agoThe tool is open source, and none of the services you listed support Mercurial, so...
- zaarn 7y agoBut it's not standalone so everyone can use it privately, it only works for your service.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoIf it's open source then surely you, or someone, could modify it for other services. Moaning when someone gave you free apples because you want apple pie; maybe make your own pastry.
- zaarn 7y agoI'm moaning because someone wants to sell me their entire apple tree in order to get the free apple pie while I would be happy to get a few apple to make my own. The service is deeply connected to SirCmpwns paid service and an obvious spam bait.
- sourcesmith 7y agoYou can run it privately: https://man.sr.ht/installation.md https://man.sr.ht/installation.md
- zaarn 7y agoIt still only works for sourcehut.
- izietto 7y agoWhy are you stating that the tool is not open source? Did you even check that?
- zaarn 7y agoOpen source + standalone, it's not standalone.
- skinnymuch 7y agoNone of them support Mercurial. Everything is open source. You’re behaving incredibly weirdly.
- edoloughlin 7y agoOMG dude, just let it go. You've dug your heels in so much that HN won't even let me reply to your latest comment because you've hit a depth limit. This is just a marketing page. It wasn't sent to you as an email. Nobody erected a billboard outside your house. It's on the internet, where people are free to create and ignore stuff as they please. Do you really think you're bringing something to the table at this point or are you just trolling for fun?
- zaarn 7y agoI just don't like spam on the frontpage.
