Mildly annoying nitpick: The name is BitHubLab (Bitbucket, Github, Gitlab) yet the checkboxes in the bottom are in Github - Gitlab - Bitbucket order. As if the name is HubLabBit rather than BitHubLab

and also bitbucket is unchecked by default? how absolutely idiotic

Uh huh, I'm with you.

Whoa, too much.

This is very cool. If you start to hit API rate limits for these services, you can try using the Sourcegraph API (email me sqs@sourcegraph.com and I can make sure your API key isn't rate-limited). Sourcegraph indexes all of these Git platforms and has a search API: https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/features/api.

This is really neat, and as the GitHub acquisition moves forward, I suspect a lot of Microsoft's competitors will move elsewhere, so this will be handy. What about self-hosting though? If you run your own GitLab, how would you get listed on your search engine? Is that something you've looked at?

My thought exactly. For something that can easily be self-hosted, I feel a focus on a handful of "major platforms" is the wrong approach. Already people in this thread are saying that smaller well-known instances are "not major enough" which I disagree with.

I love the logo. Beware those platforms might go after you for trademark violation.

(I'd personally argue you're making a joke and it should be protected under parody, but no one ever actually wants to go on a legal fight over a logo).

Really good concept though. Good work.

The checkboxes are pixelated (this is FF) and rather hard to distinguish from the logos. Oddly, at first, I was looking at the logos from right to left and I was confused what the last and third to last logos were, hah.

It would be cool if the logos themselves were the checkboxes, with a darker version for checked and lightened version for unchecked (and all should be checked by default).

Relying on opacity for state is generally bad for accessibility

Yeah, looks odd in FF with GTK too[0]. Not pixelated, but weirdly scaled none the less.
