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...

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
