#2It is an awesome product, I really want to try it a bit more at home later in the evening. Don't you think it could be a good idea that considering it is to self host git projects, to self host your own project? I mean, why don't you use your own product?
Re: Gitea – Alternative to GitLab and GitHub
#3> Gitea is a community managed fork of Gogs
Why fork the project instead of keeping a single one ?

It's probably a cost question, to my knowledge gitea.io is a github pages website. The only running cost is really the domain.
Running the git service is probably a bit expensive and you loose the network effect of github.
They could probably migrate to gitlab though.

#5This is the announcement of Gitea, which is a fork of Gogs.
https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/
"We’re a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus decided to make an effort to build a more open and faster development model."
This is a guide to run it with Docker https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-with-docker/

There was an issue with the Gogs maintainer going AWOL for long periods of time. An earlier fork was merged back in when he returned, but a subsequent incident resulted in a permanent fork.
Also there were some governance issues IIRC.

#7Entertainingly the code is hosted on github. :-)
I'd have more confidence in it if it could self-host and I was able to see gitea inside of a gitea instance and that was the main workflow. Like this, it feels like maintainers aren't prepared to eat their own dog food just yet. That's fine, but I'll take a pass until that's fixed.

#8What i like about the landing page is all the info is there. I don't have to scroll down through whole screens at a time for each titbit of info

#9Gogs, the project Gitea has been forked off, works just as well. As far as I can see there's no technical reason to prefer the fork over the original.
Judging from Github stars, Gogs is also vastly more popular.

They don't use it because it doesn't have all the features yet: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029
