       Ask HN: Updates on Jetbrains Fleet?
        
       It's been like half a year since it was first announced in closed
       beta; I never got an invite to the beta, and on occasion I look it
       up to see if it's ready for general consumption yet.  Those who are
       in the beta, what's your thoughts on this editor?

       | Edit: I don't expect this really means anything. The entire site

       | I'm liking it a lot. It isn't something particularly great yet
       | but I like having my own domain, I like having integration with
       | Jetbrains products, I like my own repos in a not-so-public
       | location, I like extremely-easy-to-set-up CI.
       | 
       | Gitlab checks most of these boxes too but.. Dunno, Space just
       | feels more intuitive to me. Might be due to the docs being really
       | solid.

         | I haven't been in a position to try space in anger yet in order

         | that's for sure one of the major pain points with GLCI
