Important open source projects should not use GitHub (2020)

Of these alternative forges I actually came across notabug first. I however was never able to establish how it is funded and who the people behind it are. Yes, The Peers Community", I followed that link too.

Also why does their website have to look so damn ugly? Is it so hard to design something inviting? I know that's not what really matters for a git server, but I just can't take such a project seriously. "Who knows what else they didn't really care about?" in the back of my head...

>Also why does their website have to look so damn ugly?

Because it was made by coders. Old school coders. Backend coders.

Yes, a nice looking website, that epitome of project maturity and quality /s

(as if there's a shortage of barely working vaporware FOSS projects with great looking websites, because their creators are more into the whole hussle culture / fancy launch page / web design than coding)

I wouldn't mind a simple or even boring website... But sometimes they are actively ugly.

I like the design of notabug

I had a CTO that would insist he had to pick every single dependency himself personally. And he mostly decided depending on how much he liked the CSS on the website.

That's how we got to use a payment provider that had absolutely no documentation and was located on the other side of the world, so queries to their support team would take 24h.

We never managed to actually get any money via that provider.
