Dear GitHub • Hacker News Board

It's also annoying that Github sometimes is missing some basic features like attachments to bug reports and comments for instsance. All mature bug trackers have such feature.

I feel like there is a great opportunity right now for anyone to make a Github replacement. Sounds like a lot of these features are sorely needed at the moment. Why has Github been complacent?

Why not bitbucket?

There is GitLab, which is good and is FOSS in addition.

Because those features are not ones from the people paying money to Github?

Most of these features are ones that only affect public projects. You're not customers of Github, you're the product. Or rather, the advertising.

Do the undersigned send any money to github? It might be better to phrase your demand in the form of a question, "how much can we pay you to do this work for us?"
