SourceHut is adding an IRC bouncer with persistence for paying customers and without persistence for non-paying customers :flan_think:The really cool thing is that any irc:// links in READMEs and wikis throughout SourceHut will auto-join people to the channel using SourceHut’s web UI :blobhyperwubbel: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-announce/%3CCEZTFIQV6KZA.1ML563BPZK9CK%40taiga%3E

@amolithThe tech stack is all cool, but I really don't like the UI over at sourcehut

@sexybiggetje It's certainly not *great* and I do think it could be much improved while still only using basic HTML/CSS like Drew wants

@amolithWell only html/CSS is great, gitlab for instance is just plain broken when js is disabled.

Speaking of GitLab, @sexybiggetje and @amolith, the first thing I do after setting up any project there is to disable every feature other than Git hosting and CI/CD. I think it as something to do with my (normally minor) dyslexia as well but I can never find what I’m looking for otherwise.

@cnx @sexybiggetje @amolith git-on-the-web is social software; srht is product managed by lone wolf dev(s) who are actively antisocial and it makes for a bad product, IMO.

As someone using SourceHut daily, I find myself getting work done on it easier than occasionally on GitHub (where most patches I make go), @sneak. There's a fine line between being featurefull and confusing UX, and GitHub's UX is (free software biases aside) a few times better than that of GitLab.Despite being multi-million-dollar corperations, Microsoft and whoever behind GitLab still can't get the UI to be discoverable, even after the first time and their CSS is always broken here and there. I spend most of my time on Git**b finding buttons every time I need to do anything more than submitting a PR/MR (whose link is thankfully given to me by the git push hook). SourceHut's web UI is ugly, but at least it works (think e.g. Windows 95 by today's standard) and the emails' accessibility compensates it greatly.Cc: @sexybiggetje and @amolith

TBH the real reason I move all of my projects to SourceHut was because I cannot stand GitHub’s redesign. I originally moved to Gitea but back then there wasn’t any available integrated continuous integration for it.The rant extends to pretty much all megacorps’ web design, including other social media like Facebook and Reddit. I mean I get it, they want to monetize from my data but for the love of Wosh why need they make me suffer such bloated, confusing and useless UI, while the previous one works absolutely fine?To: @sneak, @amolith and @sexybiggetje

@sneak @cnx @sexybiggetje @amolith GitHub, GitLab, and their various clones exclude anyone who doesn't have an account or agree with their privacy policies. They also exclude users who don't enable JS. GitLab makes life miserable for Tor users and I doubt either allows registration over Tor; Sourcehut users can email a staff member to make an account over Tor instead.From where I stand, Git**b is more antisocial than Sourcehut. Sourcehut lets anyone with an email contribute without signing up or even opening the website (or using their API); this includes every GitHub and GitLab user since those platforms require an email to sign up. Sourcehut is all about not forcing you to use their software or "buy in" to their ecosystem.

@Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net @sneak@s.sneak.berlin @cnx@nixnet.social @sexybiggetje@mastodon.social @amolith@nixnet.social isnt the ability to contribute without an account inherent to any git system? nothings stopping a maintainer from including your emailed patches

Sure, @kayden, but without a mailing list that approach is only for anti-social lone wolfs, not a team of maintainers. Cc: @amolith, @sneak, @Seirdy and @sexybiggetje

@cnxPeople, I mentioned sourcehut's problems specifically. Don't hijack a thread to start a flamewar on non related services.Use what you deem right, but when participating in communication just address the main topic at hand.@kayden @amolith @Seirdy @sneak
