@astrojuanlu i don't even want to argue with you 🤷‍♀️

i just don't see why having a radically different UX from mainstream is a bad thing. i think it's a good thing that free software isn't constrained by what is "trend". i think those radically different approaches are an unique selling point.

things like sourcehut which are not "fancy" also enable people to to use it which might have problems using github etc.

i'd venture that composing mails is likely more easy than navigating the github ui if you are handicapped.

the gamification by github has always deterred me (and i know from others) from publishing my things there, as they never will get many stars. the commit graph facilitates a style of work which very likely is bad for mental health.

it's no surprise that many long running projects are often just a repository somewhere and a mailing-list. it's a surprisingly efficient style of work while keeping people sane as there is no virtual pressure like a commit graph.
