Looks like a nice set of features, but that UX isn't going to win anyone over from Github/Gitlab/Gitea land.


I haven’t used Gitea but I hate GitHub and GitLabs’ UI.

I find it a giant mess of noise and basically cringe until I get to the specific project root and readme.

GitLab in particular seems to move settings and functions around on the page so I’m hunting for where the history or blame is.


Some basic spacing and font work would go a long, long way for SourceHut.


SourceHut doesn't require Javascript. If that means a _simple_ user interface, I'll take it.


Also, I forgot about it's performance index too: https://forgeperf.org/
