I think the real news is that some people have started to build what might become something like a "jjhub".

https://ersc.io/

I think 'jjhub' is a decent immediate first approximation, and is often how I've started out talking about it with people. At the same time, we have to offer real value here, as you can already use jj with github (and I have for a long time now), so there's more to it than that. But yes :)

What I would love:

- Everything locally stored in the repo: PRs, comments, issues, discussions, boards, ... - CLI first - Offline first (+ syncing) - A website for hosting/presentation

Noted :) In another comment I linked to beads, which is a cool project to keep your issue tracker in your repo, but that's just a personal thing, no comment on what the company plans to do (or not) in this area.

I use command-line tooling much more than IDEs (e.g. VS Code), so the `gh` command-line tool (https://cli.github.com) for doing most of the usual hub-oriented workflow (PR authoring, viewing issues, status updates, etc) really helps a lot - I don't have to constantly <cmd>+<tab> to my browser, and point-click-point-click through web pages so much. It would be fantastic if ersc or any other jj-centered code-sharing hub had similar tooling early on.
