the best thing about this was discovering https://git.sr.ht/ https://git.sr.ht/

The extremely flexible todo, and build parts of the site are probably my favourites. Anonymous non-user people allowed on issue tracker that doesn't have to be linked to any repo? Awesome. (And you can export easily.) Easy to combine multiple build projects into a single build that can be kicked off by any one of the projects? Sweet. Drew is also really responsive if you run into any problems.

  Part of what makes sr.ht great is that it's made of tools that can be used together or separately. If you want to use it for just task tracking, great. If you want to use it for task tracking, git repo, and CI/CD, that's fine. If you want to use it for task tracking on a project that keeps code on github and does CI on gitlab... It still works great:)

I love the simple and lightweight interface, but everything is hard to discover. Sourcehut? Sounds great- I'd love to replace my Gogs/gitlab instance with something more lightweight. Let's download the source and run it. I guess click on "git" on https://git.sr.ht/ https://git.sr.ht/? Wait that's where I already am with no indication that that is the selected tab. Ok maybe the link for sourcehut? https://sourcehut.org/ https://sourcehut.org/ Cool. There's some links about pricing, ignore that and click on "100% free and open source software" Now I am just at a list of what appears to be about 20 repos, all with helpful names like sr.ht-apkbuilds. I can tell that this person has put a ton of work into making something that is probably fantastic, but it is really all presented in an undiscoverable way. I still have no idea what language this project is written in, how to deploy or maintain it. I assume https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht might be what I want, but it still looks like the inscrutable mess that reminds me of hgweb. There's not even a readme on the first page, let alone the source or anything useful. There's a link to https://man.sr.ht/git.sr.ht/installation.md https://man.sr.ht/git.sr.ht/installation.md. Which looks like it might be what I want, but I guess I'm old and at this point I've lost interest. I'm definitely being crotchety, but I wish this information was organized in a more useful way. I can tell Drew has put a lot of time into it, but I don't feel like it is being shared in an effective way. And I would definitely never pay for software like this. Please someone tell me I'm crazy and this UI makes perfect sense to them.

  It sounds like you're going to the main page, expecting to download it and deploy it yourself. It isn't surprising that the main interface is pointing you to _use_ it, rather than deploy it. If you click on the help hub, _man_, you'll find what you're looking for straight away: > Hacking on or deploying sourcehut yourself? Resources here. --- > I guess click on "git" on https://git.sr.ht/ https://git.sr.ht/? Wait that's where I already am with no indication that that is the selected tab. That's incorrect. If you look to the left of the nav bar, you'll see some text with red highlighting exactly where you are. > I still have no idea what language this project is written in, how to deploy or maintain it. If you click the dev resources link, then you'll find this nice and obvious quote: > sr.ht core is a Python package that provides shared functionality across all sr.ht services. It also contains the default templates and stylesheets that give sr.ht a consistent look and feel.

    > If you look to the left of the nav bar, you'll see some text with red highlighting exactly where you are. That looks part of the "logo", not part of the navbar. There is at most a minimal difference in the actual "tabs". Of course the reason is that this isn't actually a navbar/tabs but a list of applications offered by sourcehut, this is really noticeable if you click on git when you're at an actual git repository (e.g. https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc) note that the red text highlighting where I am already says git, so clicking on git shouldn't do anything if it was actually a tab bar, but in reality it navigates to https://git.sr.ht/ https://git.sr.ht/

I always wonder why it doesn't support git push over https? See https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht , and find "Clone" section. It said https is read-only, only git protocol supports write.

Was not expecting that it will be written in python: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht/tree https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht/tree
