"we built it in rust" is not a differentiator - especially when the first thing that happens when i click a repo is "mobile not supported"
lol. really stretching the word "better"

This is unfair, and the vibe-coded swipe is unnecessary. Why would anyone continue working on a project if it's not seeing any adoption or interest? Many large successful apps were borne out of sharp pivots - Slack comes to mind.
I would perhaps be less inclined to make a point out of the vibe coding if they had not literally put "anti-AI" in the title as a key point of their marketing (although Dang removed it). I think it's absolutely fair to point out the hypocrisy and disingenuity of marketing a vibe-coded product in that way.

#126>As of now, all repositories are free, but we do envision charging for private repositories for teams in the future. Please don’t do this. Charge a fair price, in fact find a fair price and double it. I don’t want a free GitHub clone, I want one that works. How about 50$ 50 private repos, 50GBs of git LFS storage. Add collaborators for free. Actually respond to customers. At this level you only need 1000 paying custo…
Would you pledge in a crowd-funding campaign to build something like this? You'd want something that doesn't allow training on private repos, so ideally not a private company that can change owners and managers and hence policies over time. It's an interesting business case - open source website, revenue generating with some type of "open" business structure. Its first repos could be of itself. I had this idea for en…
Or full blown encrypted repos where only you have the key.
Or, if we go a step further you pay a licensing fee for Gitdot and self host it.
The cookie jar of AI training data is very hard to resist even if it’s a non profit
I think 50$ is the minimum you could charge and still have responsive customer support.
