On one hand, centralization at a commercial provider isn't great.

On the other hand, the plethora of different self-hosted platforms with limited feature sets is a huge pain. Just finding the repo is often a frustrating exercise, and then trying to view, or worse, search the code without checking it out is often even more frustrating or straight out impossible.

I wish I could search on GitHub without logging in

I wish that too, and I’ve always wanted to offer features like this in everything I build.

But it’s a lot of work to prevent abuse, especially for resource intensive features when supporting unsigned-in use cases.
