Ask HN: would you use this git hosting service?
Every now and then there's a thread about git hosting, and there are always a few people that apparently fall in the following niche:
* need just the server, w/o issue tracker, collaboration, pull reqs, etc
* have a lot of private repositories
* happy to use the command line for everything
The usual answer for them is "it's 5min to set up if you already have your VPS". Fair enough. But the point comes up often enough that it might be a convenience pain point worthy of solving.
So: http://gitbox.dobarkod.hr/ - unlimited private git hosting for freelancers
It's just a temporary landing page for explaining the value proposition and gauging the interest.
Would you use it? If so, please vote with your e-mail address ;-)
Note: the killer feature here is hassle-free unlimited backed up repos for a single user. For multiple users, there's already Codeplane (good discussion is here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2674417).
I don't believe this would be in competition with Codeplane - more with the cheap hosting with ssh access that people can use as git servers (but then they have to manage them at least a bit).
PS. I know name clashes with Gitbox for Mac: if I go on and implement the service, I'm probably going to change the name.
