Would love to give it a try by browsing public repos without the need to sign in and grant all those permissions

#22The website doesn't tell me what it does or why it's better. It just wants me to sign-up and provide a bunch of permissions without first selling itself to me. The landing page should clearly communicate what this does and contrast it with GitHub to make it obvious how it's better. I guess the little embedded video might show some of this but it's not very clear. I just see someone faffing about and scrolling up and…
indeed. make a loom showing us why is better.

#26A better answer to GitHub being bad is probably fleeing GitHub, not working around some of the badness and creating even more dependence on it.

Yeah…and I don’t burn my time watching videos unless it’s teaching me to fix an appliance, or do small home repairs…videos are for tricky in person stuff, screenshots and text are for apps.
