The GitLab website is opaque. I searched for, and did find 1) How to download the product 2) How much it costs 3) what hardware and OS it runs on or 4) how to find out more.
Now I've only been developing web apps since 1997, and work every single day with GitHub. Evidently I'm just stupid.
Oh, I actually tried to find those things twice. Yesterday, and again today.
Are you guys even aware of your website's usability issues? What's with the mystery navigation?
Edit: don't bother giving me links. Fix these serious problems.

- sytse 14y agoGitLab.org got updated a few days ago, there is definitely room for improvement. But I don't get your points. 1) There is an installation guide button on the front page. This contains the clone source command under point 6. Just downloading something is not enough. 2) The tagline says 'Distributed under the MIT License', it's free! 3) First and second line of the installation guide refer to the hardware requirements, but I agree the website could be clearer on this. 4) What kind of 'more' are you looking for?
- frio 14y agoHaving just visited the site, I think it's fine. Everything he's asked for is plainly available on the front page: "a free and open-source..." is right there in the text up top, and links to the source/installation guide are plainly available. From a home user: well done on GitLab. I'm going to try out GitLab CI next, and see if I can replace my Bamboo server :).
- sytse 14y agoThanks, I hope you like GitLab CI.
